Dear Parents/Guardians,
Welcome to Grades 1 and 2 By now your child should be well accustomed to school and daily routines. They know to come in before school, put down their own bags and iPads or Laptop away and say goodbye to their parents. They are developing independence and taking responsibility for their own learning. Students are engaged in Literacy and Numeracy activities, as well as developing inquiring minds though Inquiry. They also participate in the specialist program offered at Oak Park, including: Japanese, Art and P.E. Library is taken by the classroom teacher on a weekly basis. Students also have the opportunity to attend R.E classes on Friday afternoon. The use of technology in the classroom enhances students' inquiry, helps them to learn independently and assists them in learning research skills. Whether students use an iPad or Netbook, it is their responsibility to bring it to school on a daily basis, fully charged. Incursions and excursions are organised throughout the year to enhance students' learning. Towards the end of the year, a sleepover and fun night will take place. Grade 1 students will go home after supper, while grade 2 students sleep at school. Throughout the year, students will be involved in fund raising events, as well as participating in the big school production in term 3. |
