Langley

Dear Langley family and friends

This week we have again enjoyed spending time getting to know our new friends. During morning meetings we are focusing on learning each other’s name and identifying our own in written form. 

It is great to see our new children learning routines and settling after parents leave. Thank you to those families who have returned their student information forms. These were handed out at the Parent Information night last year but we have sent them home attached to the Seesaw note if we did not receive one back. These forms enable us to get to know your child better and keep a record of any important information you would like us to know. Please check and empty the plastic wallet stored on the shelf above your child’s locker as this is where notes and any work your child produces will be placed.

Thanks also to those of you who have provided us with a photograph for our family tree. These can be emailed to Miss Olly at ojones@pac.edu.au

The children are steadily building their self help skills such as putting away their own belongings and attending to their own hand washing. We appreciate your support in encouraging them to do independently whatever they are capable of.

Many children have been enjoying doing individual and group painting this week and some have been exploring natural materials to produce collages. 

The outdoor environment continues to provide lots of challenges for the children with the obstacle course proving popular for those keen to climb. Please let us know if there are any particular skills you wish us to focus on with your child and we will do our best to include them in our fortnightly program. Our program is displayed on the window next to our door if you’d like more information.

Have a great weekend,


Miss Olly, Miss Nicole, Miss Georgia and Miss Chelsea
