  9. INDEPENDENCE AND ORGANISATIONAL SKILLS Our aim for this year is to help your child improve on these skills. These skills are very important as they move up in grade levels and into high school and beyond. In year 3, because our curriculum is so jam packed, the children are needed to move from one place to another, from one activity to another quickly, quietly and efficiently. We would appreciate your support in helping us achieve this. We have some suggestions: Get your child: • To begin packing their lunch • To put their lunch in their bags • Pack their equipment for the next day (gently remind them; resist the temptation to do this for them) • Get them to bring notes to the teacher by themselves. • Allow them to walk independently to their respective classrooms

  10. BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT School Rules: Be Safe Act Responsibly Show Respect Value Learning 3 opportunities to STOP, THINK and DO. If behaviour continues, child is given a red ticket. 2 tickets in 5 school days = Reflection Room visit . If your child attends the Reflection Room you will be notified by way of a letter. This letter will need to be signed by yourself and returned to school the next day with your child. The Reflection Room provides your child with a time to reflect on their behaviour choices with a teacher and follows a restorative justice policy.

  11. NAPLAN WHAT IS IT? NAPLAN is the National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy tests. These tests are for all students in Australia in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9.

  16. NAPLAN – HOW YOU CAN HELP There are a number of ways you can help your child prepare at home for NAPLAN (or any school tests): • talk to your child about the purpose of the tests and how they will be given an opportunity to show what they have learnt in class. • discuss the format that test questions can take, such as multiple choice items, short response questions and writing tasks. • your child will need to work on an individual basis for set periods of time - explain to them that it will be just like when they do homework on their own. • when you read together, ask your child questions about the story to make sure they understand what they are reading. • encourage your child to write persuasive and narrative texts. • maintain a positive attitude about the tests. • ensure your child gets plenty of sleep leading up to tests. • ensure your child exercises and eats healthy meals regularly, including breakfast.
