MESSAGE FROM THE KINDERGARTEN TEAM
Hi Kindergarten families,
Welcome to our online learning site! Below you will find our weekly learning grid for the following week- uploaded here and on Class Dojo each Friday afternoon, a timetable of learning and lots of other useful resources. We hope they are a fun way for your child to stay engaged in learning and feeling connected to school.
Feel free to post a photo of your child's learning onto Class Dojo as a portfolio post or as a message to the teacher. Teachers will be checking Class Dojo each day and will acknowledge and comment on learning posts as well as respond to any messages with questions from parents/carers.
We hope you stay safe and we look forward to seeing students in Google Meets throughout the week and lots of photos of learning!
