As I'm sure your very aware of by now, NAPLAN testing will be conducted next week. The students are a mixture of nerves and excitement. Please continue to reiterate at home that NAPLAN is all about giving the test your very best efforts.
We have been doing some practice NAPLAN tests in class and I have been extremely proud of the way the children have applied themselves to giving it their all and completing the tests within the time frame.
During this somewhat stressful and intense time for your child, there a few things you can do to assist them at home.
-Please ensure they have plenty of sleep the night before
-In the mornings having a healthy, nutritious breakfast is also beneficial
-They need to be at school by the first siren at 8.30am so they are relaxed and can prepare for the test calmly as the tests are timetabled to start at 8.50am
-Encourage them to give it their absolute best
- Discuss any feeling and emotions they have coming up to and after the tests
Below is the NAPLAN timetable.
TUESDAY
8.50am Language Conventions
10.50am Writing
WEDNESDAY
8.50am Reading
THURSDAY
8.50am Mathematics
Catch up tests will be done on Friday but please try and ensure your child is there to complete their assessment.
I am sure that each child is going to give the test their all. It is a great indication to see where your child sits in relation to other children around Australia.
If I can assist you or your child at all during this time please come and see me.
Thank you,
