Dear Year One Parents
Parent Information
Thank you for your attendance at our Year One Parent Information Session. We hope that you found the information valuable and feel ready for the year. A copy of the slide show from the night has been added to the last post on our blog.
Swimming Lessons
Our first swimming lessons begin tomorrow! Please refer to the swimming timetable that was sent home this week for our lesson times. The children will be eating their recess a little earlier at around 10.40 but will not be eating their lunch until they return to school at around 1.30pm. With this in mind, we would really appreciate it if you were able to pack a little bit more for their recess as it will be around 2 1/2 hours before they eat again.
As mentioned in the parent info session, the children are able to come to school in their bathers and thongs. Boys are permitted to wear their board shorts to school but are also asked to bring their black sports shorts and underwear to change into after swimming.
Please help us out by making sure all items are labelled to avoid items going into lost property! The children may wear thongs during the week, or bring them in their bags to change into before their lesson.

Homework
After our week of swimming, we will begin homework in week four. It will start with a bundle of sight words that the children are required to be able to READ and SPELL all 100 by the end of Year One. A new home reader will go home every 2 days.
Parent Reps
Many thanks to Alice (Piper’s Mum), Sarah (Olivia’s Mum) and Nat (Matilda's Mum) who have offered to be our class reps this year. Yay! The power of three!
Have a wonderful afternoon.
