Year 1 Update – Wk 1
All the students have made a great start to their first year at Beacon Hill School. The children have learnt new routines such as, unpacking their own bag and putting their own belongings in the correct places. They have also met many new faces and made new friends as well as reconnecting with some old friends from Kindergarten.They have visited many places around the school such as, the school hall, Learning Centre, playground and Mandarin rooms.
Home-School Diary – It is really important that you check your child’s diary each day. Often there will be letters with information about school and class events as well as occasional messages from class teachers.
Library Books – From next week the children will have the opportunity to borrow a picture book from the Learning Centre. This book is for you to read to your child and discuss what the story is about. In order for your child to borrow a book from the Learning Centre children must have a red BHS book bag which needs to be labelled and easily identifiable.
Hats and Snacks – It is a school rule that children must wear a BHS school hat when they are playing outside in the playground. Hats are also required for outdoor PE lessons. Please make sure that your child has a clearly named BHS hat next week. At snack time the children have 20 minutes to eat their snack as well as play with their friends, bearing this in mind please ensure that their snack is manageable in such a way that they can open it independently as well as finish their snack in approximately 10 minutes. Many of the children have had nice treats for snack this week. Next week we would like to see the children enjoying healthier snacks.
Central Idea: People have abilities and interests who form who they are.
Home Learning
Today your child brought home a home learning task. Please read the instructions attached carefully and return to school by Wednesday 24th August. Encourage your child to be as creative as they would like to be with this task and use paper from home if you prefer.
Next week the children will be singing number songs and learning counting rhymes. We will be spending time finding out about your child’s number knowledge.
The children will have the opportunity to write about their weekend. Please spend some time talking with your child about what you have done together over the weekend.
The children will attend their first Golden Book assembly on Monday.
