Swimming on Monday

  

 A reminder to all parents and carers,

Swimming begins on Monday and we ask that you please ensure your child bring a separate bag with your child's name on it to take to the pool. We recommend that, if possible children wear their bathers, pack a towel, spare dry underwear and goggles.

Science Week

Princes Hill Primary School is participating in National Science Week 2015, 15th – 23^rd August, as a way of further promoting science in our school. Science activities will be scheduled to run in each neighbourhood next week. 

We want to encourage children to try more science at home and at school.

We also encourage parents who are interested in science or work in a field of science to come along and talk to the children about the work that they do.  

Please contact your child’s teachers to book in a time to organize a talk, demonstration or a hands-on activity that the children can participate in.

Thank you for your support.

Swimming next week

We would greatly appreciate a few parent helpers to come assist with swimming next week.

If you are keen to come, please pop your name onto the swimming helper sheet on the parent notice board.

Green and Purple groups will attend the session at 12.50pm
and Orange group will be at 1.45pm.

The exact time of arrival and departure for each group is TBA. Stay tuned.

Many thanks,

The Prep team

Week 5 Learning Focus

Maths: The children will continue to explore representing teen numbers using tens frames. We will explore ways of counting more efficiently; counting by 2s, 5s and 10s. Some children will have the opportunity to create and analyse graphs through the football card and animal mini-inquiry.

Literacy: The children are exploring celebrations; in particular birthdays. We are finding out how many children have birthdays in each month, season and year. We will be writing ‘I was born on the ____ of ______.’ The children will continue to be challenged to add more detail to their reflection

Inquiry:  What emotions do we feel?

Wellbeing: When have we all felt happy? What made us feel this way?
