With your child, you could: create patterns with everyday objects. Use blocks, beads, shells or toys to make and extend patterns (red-blue-red-blue or big-small-big-small). Ask your child to predict “what comes next?” Make increasingly more complex patterns using beads, play “what’s missing?” games. Line up a few toys or objects, then remove 1 while your child closes their eyes. Ask them to identify what’s missing, helping them understand the concept of unknown values.
Road Safety Update
Message from Senior Constable Lisa Ross:
On 20 August, I was stationed outside the front gate in the morning and noticed several unsafe parking behaviours.
A number of vehicles attempted to park directly in front of the school on the yellow lines and had to be moved on. Vehicles were also stopping in front of the school driveway, which blocked teachers from accessing the car park.
A reminder: Please do not park on the yellow lines outside the school. (Infringement notices will be issued if vehicles are observed doing this)
Please do not stop or park across the school driveway. (Infringement notices will be issued if vehicles are observed doing this)
When pulling over in front of the school, please avoid doing U-turns. These impact the flow of traffic and, particularly at busy pick-up times, create significant backlogs.
Let’s all make an effort to work together to ensure the safety of our students and keep traffic flowing smoothly.
Kind Regards,
Lisa ROSS
