** Principal Update **
This term has certainly gone by very quickly. It has been a very busy term with many of our students reaching their learning goals. We have another busy term planned in Term 2, with a reminder for families that communication around school events will be via these newsletters through our 'School Calendar' function and 'Upcoming Events'.
** Deputy Principal Update **
This term students have focused on different strategies to support their learning through the Reboot program each week. Reboot creates calm brain-friendly learning environments with actively engaged learners. Reboot shifts the focus from behaviour management to behaviour development and builds the skills critical to learning success; self-regulation, problem solving, metacognition and learning ownership. Help everyone develop the key social and emotional, and learning-how-to-learn skills needed to be both willing and capable of making the most of learning opportunities.
Reboot supports students
- Self-regulate (manage their emotions),
- Self-manage (know what they need and how to fulfil it in healthy ways)
- Create healthy social webs
- Problem solve
- Set goals that they can accomplish
- Have the confidence to engage in learning and life
Throughout the term the students have received Kingston Kredits for following the school expectations. Students have received various rewards for their hard work, from a prize out of the prize room, ice blocks, certificates from Mrs Marshall and today the students that received 125 Kingston Kredits this term were invited to a reward day in the hall. Congratulations to all the students who received a reward this term.
I look forward to seeing the students work towards collecting more Kingston Kredits next term and celebrating with them as they reach their targets.
** Year 3 Update **
This term in grade three, we are thrilled to share our English learning goal focused on relating ideas and expressing our preferences and opinions about imaginative texts. Our students are recognizing their achievements as they skilfully retell key ideas or events in sequence, articulate their opinions and preferences about a variety of imaginative texts with supporting details, recommend these texts with compelling reasons, and create and rehearse captivating presentations. Recently, our focus has been on speeches catered around our chosen imaginative texts featuring Mr. Fox as the main character. To elevate our presentations, we have been meticulously creating masks and posters while incorporating multimodal elements like voice and gestures to make our presentations even more engaging.
