Term 1 Week 1

What a fantastic start we've had to our school year. I am very impressed with the way the children have settled into the Room 5 routines - they are very good at listening to instructions and following them. I know we are going to have a great year.
Thank you for your support with stationery. I know it hasn't been so easy this year, but I do appreciate the effort you have gone to to ensure your child has the correct books. A special thank you for returning the forms that were sent home yesterday.


We like to celebrate all children's successes, whether it be inside the
classroom or in extra-curricula activities.

Yesterday Peter was named 'Player of the day' for his touch team.

Ka pai, Peter, you played a great game.

We are learning the Room 5 Handwriting routines. Everyone has been trying very hard to complete their work to 'Triple Star' standard. Today's star handwriters are Uriel and Ephrem. Their work is on display in the classroom.



Remember tomorrow is a public holiday, so you can have a sleep in. On Friday we have a school assembly at 12md. This will be in our school hall and you are welcome to come along.
Please also put Thursday 13 February in your diary. This is our 'Meet the Teacher' evening (7-7:20pm and 7:30-7:50pm in Room 5). I will be talking about how things run in Room 5 and will be able to answer any questions you may have. I have enjoyed meeting many of you this week, thanks for taking the time to pop in and say 'hi'.
