Ready to Learn Breaks

Our Year 5 students are very busy working on assessment pieces this week. Our teachers continue to make reasonable adjustments during the assessment tasks so that all students have the opportunity to show what they have learned in different ways. Teachers are also making sure that they are using lots of Ready to Learn breaks throughout this time. A Ready to Learn break happens around every 20 minutes and lasts somewhere between 2 to 5 minutes. Our teachers will choose whether they need to lift the energy in the room, or support students to calm their mind and body. In Year 5 we love ‘Desk Drumming’, ‘Go Noodle’, ‘Find the Fantail’ and ‘Brain Bender’ puzzles.

Attendance

It’s so important for your child to attend school each day they are well enough. Students are impacted by absences, in their learning, in their relationships and sense of belonging at school, and in their routines. If your child is experiencing attendance issues, please reach out to your child’s teacher so we can work in partnership with you to support their attendance at school.
