Welcome to Week 4 of Term 1
MEET THE
TEACHER / SCG SCHOOL PICNIC
It was wonderful to see so many families at
the school picnic last week and thank you to the families that managed to call
in to the classroom beforehand. If you
weren’t there and have the time to offer some help in the classroom on a
regular basis, I would love to hear from you.
In Week 5, on Monday 5th and
Tuesday 6th March, we will be inviting you to come in for a Goal
Setting Interview with your child. You
will be able to book your interview time shortly. This is a great opportunity to discuss your
child’s learning and set goals.
Remember, you can always pop in before or after school to see me too.
SUTER ART
GALLERY VISIT – THIS WEDNESDAY, 9am
We have had lots of parents already offer
to come along with us to the Suter Art Gallery on Wednesday. We will be leaving school straight after the
roll, at approximately 9am and will return to school by 11am.
CLASS DOJO
Last week your child should have come home
with information on how to sign up for the Class DoJo Account. We have had 9 families connect already. Please see me if you have trouble doing
this. We also have a Class Blog (address
is on the side of this newsletter) which has useful links around learning as
well as posts about classroom activities.
Feel free to look at this any time!
PEPEHA
INFORMATION
Thank you to those of you that have
returned the information on your family’s history, i.e. the mountain and river
you and your ancestors connect to. If
you haven’t already returned it, we are working on our Pepeha this week.
SUMDOG
I have assigned a login for this fun
website, where your child will be able to play maths games. They will be offered a small amount of time
in class, and if possible it will be great if they can play games at home. The site tailors the questions to your child’s
abilities after they have completed an initial assessment. Therefore, please don’t ‘play’ for them!
************************
Welcome to Week 3 of Term 1
MEET THE
TEACHER / SCG SCHOOL PICNIC
I’m really looking forward to seeing as
many of you as possible at the Meet the Teacher and School Picnic this
evening. We will start it off in the
classroom where you can have a look around and I will tell you a little bit
about our classroom routines, expectations and what is on this year. Then, at approximately 5.30 pm, you are
welcome to join the other families on the front field for the annual SCG
picnic.
CONTACT
INFORMATION
I am hoping to shortly be able to send out
a school wide information sheet for you to check your child’s details and make
sure they are accurate. If anything has
changed since last year, you are welcome to let me know beforehand.
SUTER ART
GALLERY VISIT – HELPERS NEEDED J
Next week our Syndicate will be visiting
the Exhibition by Sally Burton called Pale History. We would love to have lots of adults come
along to help us walk there and support us in our activities with Esther. Please see the separate notice and return it
to school before the end of this week.
CLASS LEARNING
In Maths this week we are learning about
Statistics and gathering data to analyse.
We are counting using tally marks and are learning a ‘catchy’
song’. Why not ask your child to share
it with you?
Reading
books will start to come home regularly this week. It is common for children to drop back a few
levels during the holidays. It is
important that their confidence is built up so they feel prepared to take risks
with their learning. Reading books fluently
will help with this. Please speak to me
if you have any questions or concerns.
************************
Welcome to Week 2 of Term 1
Room
9 had a very smooth start to the term last week and the first three days flew
by! It has been great to meet the
children and families and I look forward to getting to know you all better over
the coming weeks.
MEET THE TEACHER / SCG SCHOOL PICNIC
The
School Community Group have organised the annual school picnic for next Monday,
19th February. It will start
at 5pm with a chance to find out a bit more about Room 9 and the Pohutukawa
Syndicate. Then we will move out to the
front field for the annual School Summer Picnic. It is a lovely opportunity for you to meet /
reunite with other families.
CONTACT INFORMATION
We
will shortly be asking you to check crucial information around your child /
children. It is very important that the
school holds up to date information. Please
confirm your child’s details.
CLASS LEARNING
In
class we will be talking about who we are and where we come from. We will create a Pepeha to introduce
ourselves. Please talk to your child
about this at home. Over the next few
weeks I will be testing the children.
Your child may come home with an easy book to read from the class. Our learning programmes will start properly after
this has been completed.
LIBRARY / SWIMMING
Library
day is Friday for Room 9. Please help
your child to remember to return their Library book by Friday each week.
Swimming
is timetabled for Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Swimming is part of our Curriculum. Should your child be unable to swim please
provide a note / email me with the reason they cannot participate. We may also have the opportunity to swim on
Mondays and Fridays so please bring togs every day. Thank you.
