Me & My Family

As part of our integrated topic for this term, Me & My family, we are asking the students to bring in a family photo to act as a prompt for their writing. 

Could you please talk to your child about the photo (e.g. discuss who is in the photo and where it was taken) and if needed provide a description on the back.

All photos will need to be handed in by Friday morning (27/05) at the latest.

Thanks for your help,

Spare Pants & Underwear

Dear parents & caregivers,

Unfortunately, we have ran out of spare pants and underwear for the Preps.

We have had many Preps return these items, however some of them have not come back.

We urgently need any spare items of clothing to be returned, otherwise we will not be able to provide them to the students.

It would be helpful if students could keep a spare pair of pants/underwear in their bags, that way they will always have a change and we wont need to call parent to bring in spare clothing.

Also, if you have any spare pants to donate that would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you,

The Prep Team

Teddy Bears Picnic

Last term, as part of our language experience program, the Preps brought their favourite teddy bear to school for a teddy bears picnic. The Preps ate teddy bear biscuits and sang the song, before writing about the experience.

Below is a video about this special event.

Reminder: Nude Food

Moreland Primary is a Nude Food School and one of our school priorities is Health and Nutrition

This means NO rubbish and healthy food.

Lollies, sweet drinks, sugary biscuits and chips are STRONGLY discouraged.

Use a lunch box and small plastic containers to pack - no cling wrap or foil if possible. However, reusable bags are encouraged.

We have a fridge in our class and two microwaves. If you would like your child to bring left overs from dinner, please feel free to put their lunch into the fridge. However, please include instructions regarding reheating and a teacher will heat up their food at lunch time.

If you need some help with packing a nude food lunch box, below are some helpful links:

REMINDER: Me & My Family

Dear parents & grandparents,

This term the Preps are exploring the topic of 'Me and My Family." As part of this investigation, on Friday, the students will be writing about the differences between toys/objects from the past and those from the present.

We are asking if parents or grandparents could find a toy/book from their childhood and either take a picture or bring it into the classroom by this Friday (13th of May). We will being collecting objects from today.

Also, if you could have a chat to your child about any memories you have of using or playing with that particular toy/book.

Thank you in advance for your assistance with this task,
