Term 4 - Year Level Curriculum Snapshots 

The Term 4 Curriculum Snapshots for each year level are uploaded to the school website and included in each class termly newsletter.  The Curriculum Snapshot provides you with an overview of what your child will be learning in their classroom for Term 4.  It can be used to help focus your conversations with your child about their learning and the types of activities that they are currently undertaking. 

PBL

The focus for the fortnight is:

Be a Learner – We are ready to learn.

We hope you have had a safe and enjoyable break and are ready for another big term, full of exciting learning and events. We look forward to working with both you and your children through a productive term and finishing the year strongly and successfully.

The first step to learning at school everyday, is being present in class with the required materials, showing you are ready to learn. Every lesson, of every day at school counts towards learning and improvement. It is our firm belief that students who attend and engage in schooling all have the ability to learn and improve. All students have goals for their learning and are striving to reach them.

At Craigslea SS:

• We are ready to learn.
• We get involved and have a go at all activities.
• We make sure we have all materials and resources that we need.
• We set goals in our learning to help us be the best we can be.
• We ask for help when needed.
• We use a strategy to help us reset if needed.

Inclusive Education - All Students Succeeding

The Department of Education's Every student with disability succeeding plan 2021–2025 aims to support the success and wellbeing of every student with disability through each stage of learning in an inclusive education system in regions and in schools.

The plan commits to 45 actions, including transitioning to a new resource allocation model for students with disability. This action will complete the final recommendation of the Queensland Disability Review.

The department has commenced a 2-year transition to a new students with disability – reasonable adjustments resourcing (RAR) model. The RAR model will support all students with disability based on the adjustments they need to access and participate in education. In the most recent state budget, the Queensland Government announced $80.6 million to support transition to the new model. More information about the transition to the new RAR is outlined in the information for students and families fact sheet.

Active School Travel

Park & Stride

You’ve probably heard of ‘Park and Ride’, but what about ‘Park and Stride’?

Active School Travel encourages students to walk, cycle, scoot, carpool and catch public transport to and from school, but some parents still need to drive their children to school as part of their journey to work or other activities. Alternatively, you may live a long distance from the school and can’t actively travel all the way from home.

Even though you might need to drive your children to school, you can still make a difference to the traffic congestion and safety around our school by Parking & Striding to school.

Use the Active Travel map to find your Park & Stride starting point. Parking and walking to school from a point marked by the yellow circle or further out on the map will be counted in your child’s class active travel statistics.

So don’t miss out on Walking, Wheeling Wednesdays!

Did you know?

10% of all journeys people make are 1km or less and 50% are under 5km. Consider walking or riding your bike for short journeys.  It’s easier, better for you and saves on petrol!
