It is hard to believe that it is the end of the year already. It seems like yesterday that I was meeting all the students and families for the first time!
I would like to say a huge thank you to the students for all of their hard work and dedication over the year. The students have worked brilliantly, both individually trying their best and coming together as a whole class to create a fantastic learning environment in Room 11.
Thanks also needs to go the parents and families who have supported the students’ learning through out this year.
It has been quite a big year for me, adjusting to a new school and overcoming some health hurdles, but I have felt supported by all of you through this.
The students have certainly earned a nice break over the summer holidays, but don’t let their brains go idle. There are some amazing places to visit in our city, mostly for free, such as the Western Australian Museum, State Library and Art Gallery.
After going somewhere or catching up with friends and family, talk to your child about it and help them to orally recount what you did. Keeping a small diary is also a great way to encourage writing.
The Premier’s Summer Reading Challenge will be run over the holidays. Reading or being read to for just 15 minutes every day over the break will assist your child in improving reading skills, develop a love of reading and keep their minds active. Go to the website: summerreadingchallenge.org.au to register and find out more. The Forrestfield, Kalamunda, High Wycombe and Lesmurdie libraries are all just around the corner, so pop out with your children and grab a book, for them and for you too!
Don’t forget that your Mathletics log in will work all through the holidays. There are many different activities and games to explore and don't forget to challenge people from all over the world in Mathletics Live!
Once again thank you for all of your support during 2013 and I hope you have a fantastic holiday.
Miss Ruddick
