Phonics and Sounds-Write at Wondall

We continue to see the enthusiasm of our teachers embedding a synthetic phonics approach following their 4-day training in Sounds-Write. We now have teachers in every year level trained, with our final group for the year being trained in Week 9 of this term. This will leave a small group of our staff to be trained in early Term 1, 2024. Any teachers who have not yet been trained in Sounds-Write are being supported by our Pedagogical Coach, Mr Flack, to ensure that all classes are able to access learning using a phonics-based approach and engage in learning about the morphology and etymology of words in the English language.

Book Fair

Thank you to our wonderful Wondall community for their support with our Book Fair this term! Our Library has earned over $2000 to spend on new books for hosting such a successful Book Fair. Both Book Fair and Book Club orders have arrived this week and have been placed in class teachers’ pigeonholes for distribution.
