Classes

Hello, and Welcome to Bilby Pre-Primary Class 2021.

Class Expectations

Our class is one of acceptance, kindness and working to develop resilient, lifelong learners. At the beginning of the year, the children collaborated in making a set of class ‘guidelines.’ We spoke about the reasoning behind these rules, and made a pact that we would follow them together. These rules included:

• Hands to ourselves
• Inside voices
• Listening to our friends and the teacher
• No running inside
• Be nice

Homework

Homework folders for 2021 are compiled of various activities that will assist the children in their learning journey. These activities include daily reading, sight word practice, letter and number writing as well as any other activities that will consolidate the in-class curriculum. These folders are sent home on Monday afternoons and are expected to be returned completed by Friday morning.

We are so excited to see what 2021 brings and grow and learn alongside the children. We know it will be a wonderful year.

Thanks,

Miss R. Blaver (Teacher) and Mrs P. Juhnke & R. Craig (Education Assistants)

Here in Room 1 we practise kindness and always have a red hot go at something we are not familiar with.  Using our listening and organisational skills, we are able to persist through tasks by asking loads of questions and supporting our friends.  We always try to have fun in everything that we do and know that it is important to come to school everyday.  Practise makes progress and we understand this when it come to our Home Reading and sight words.   Room 1 students are awesome learners!

Welcome to Room 5!!

We foster a ‘You Can Do It’ Attitude in Room 5 – working on our Confidence, Resilience, Persistence, Getting Along skills and making sure we are super Organised! We know that the if we follow these keys to success, we will have a stronger more powerful mindset!

Homework Expectations 

Reading at home every night is important in supporting the development of your child’s ability to read. This one-on-one time helps children gain confidence, move through texts at their own ability and help to develop a deeper meaning of what has been read.

The Home Reading program has books that have been levelled to your child’s ability. Completing home reading and simple questions are key to developing their understanding and are vital to your child’s reading success.

The expectation is that home reading is completed every night and returned every day.  Those students who are given chapter books may return their homework folder once the book is finished; please encourage your child to read one chapter a night. Please ensure the yellow home reading log is filled out recording what your child has read. Homework will not be sent home over the weekend.

Welcome to Room 7!

In Room 7 we are a hard working bunch that love coming to school. We get stuck into our activities and have inquisitive minds. We take pride in our work and display our pieces around, come in and have a look! We value kindness and respect, our classroom is a little home away from home.

Welcome to room 8!

We have welcoming environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging. In room 8 we are positive and enthusiastic about learning. In our classroom we have a growth mindset and we strive for our very best! Our morals are to always be respectful, kind, safe, helpful and to always give it your best go.

Homework:

We all have a homework folder that includes a home reader, a little green reading record book, and a key chain of sight-words. The expectation is that students read and practice their sight-words every day in order to assist them in their learning journey. Students also receive an additional task to complete for homework which would be an activity based on what they are currently learning in class.

Timetable:

Monday: LOTE

Tuesday: Physical education

Wednesday: Design technology and library

Thursday: Art

Homework: At South Kalgoorlie Primary School, we follow the Education Department’s homework guidelines; therefore, homework will relate directly to the learning and teaching programs appropriate to the needs of students. It is aimed at supporting students to achieve at higher levels and also to consolidate skills and concepts learned at school. Each classroom teacher will set their own homework, usually on a weekly basis. If you wish to support your child’s learning, please encourage them to read for 15 minutes daily and also help them to learn their times tables.
