Term 2 ESOL Learning Online

Dear Parents and Caregivers, We hope that you have been enjoying spending time with your children over the holidays and that you are safe and well during the lockdown. Term 2 will start on Wednesday 15th of April. Children that attend Mrs Fitzgerald, Mrs Geminiano, Paran and Rosa's ESOL classes, we will be sharing a google slide presentation with your child by email. We will share this google slide presentation with your child by Monday 13th April. This will contain daily tasks for oral language, writing and grammar/spelling/punctuation. We understand that your child will be assigned tasks from their classroom teacher as well, so we just encourage your child to try their best with ESOL tasks. The tasks that ESOL teachers assign to students can be started once they have completed work that classrooms teachers have assigned. ESOL tasks are optional. It would be beneficial for your child to complete these daily tasks and we are also adding weekly activities and educational games to support their learning at home. Warm wishes from the FHS ESOL team.
