Final Post for 2014!

What a big year it has been! I can't believe that we are almost at the end of our time together as a class. We have all achieved so much and improved a great deal in maths, writing, spelling and how to get along well with each other. Each student should feel very proud of their efforts.

Last week the students enjoyed transition sessions to different grade 3 classrooms. We also visited the kitchen and garden and we are looking forward to spending more time there next year.

Thank you to all students in 2D this year. I have had a great year and have enjoyed knowing you and helping you along in your learning journeys. Thank you also to parents for their help and support throughout the year. Enjoy the festive season and your summer holidays!

Home Reading

A quick post this week...

All home readers and library books are to be returned back to school as soon as possible so that they can be checked and prepared for next year. Even though students won't be able to read school books it is still highly important that they continue reading leading up to Christmas and over the holidays to maintain and improve their reading standard. 

Ideas for Summer Reading

• Visit your local library: Mornington Peninsula Libraries run programs to encourage reading over the summer and you receive  prizes for reading certain amounts of books. Borrow a variety of books including picture books, fiction and non-fiction
• Read together: Find a book that you will both enjoy and take in turns reading pages and discussing what is happening.
• Buy a book for Christmas: Choose a book that your child will enjoy and have fun reading. Children at this age love reading funny books (Andy Griffiths, Tom Gates Series, Captain Underpants) and books about their interests including sport and animals.
• Break the boredom: When your child has nothing to do, read a book instead of turning to video games!

Their are lots of exciting things happening over the next couple of weeks including transition activities and the school concert!
