Year 1 Parents and Guardians - Digital Technologies

Year 1 learning materials must be accessed using a username and password. Currently there are over 50% of the Year Ones who cannot remember their passcode. Thank you for the continuing to practice special passcodes at home. BigFunCat1 is an example of a typical passcode. Note the three three letter words that make silly sentence. These codes require a lot of attention, practice and parental feedback to recall and type accurately.  

If you have a phone or tablet, please use a notes app with digital keyboard and demonstrate how to make capital letters by double clicking the shift key. If you have a computer at home with a physical keyboard, demonstrate holding the Shift key first tapping the capital letter once then releasing the Shift key.

As an alternative it would be much appreciated if you remind your child to see Mr Harris at school, lunch times in the library on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursdays for individual tuition. You can go to this school site to test typing accuracy.

Science Week

The 2024 Science Week theme is  “Species Survival - More than Just Sustainability.”

To celebrate, Enoggera State School is hosting a competition to draw a postcard that displays an Australian Shorebird, like the example below:

The postcard must display a bird from this list:

Students are encouraged to collect a blank postcard from the library at lunchtime and return the completed card to the library, by the end of Science Week, 18 August, 2024.

The postcards will be displayed along with official posters of the endangered species during Term 3.

School Garden

We currently have an overabundance of lettuces, onions and tomatoes. Students are encouraged to bring a clean empty, folded brown paper shopping bag to Mr Harris or to the school Admin Office. Ensure the student name and grade is clearly written on the bag. We will then fill your bag with fresh organic produce and send it back ASAP – free of charge!

In class we are keeping data of how much produce is supplied by the 20 square metre garden.  I ask you do not take anything straight from the garden, as the amounts have to be recorded as sustainability data.
