Bye Bye Miss Mallika and Miss Chris
You’ll be missed a looooot ……..
This term, we have been very fortunate to have Jess, Amelia and Millie come and work with our school. They are forth year speech students from Flin-ders University in South Australia. Some of the areas they have been working on include; speaking clearly (articulation), using sounds in words (phonemic awareness), sentence structure, gram-mar, giving and following instructions and using a variety of words (vocabulary). If you have concerns about your child’s speech, please come and speak to your child’s teacher.
