Welcome back to Room 5!

I hope everyone has had a very restful and happy holiday. A special welcome to new children and their parents. I am looking forward to teaching your child and meeting with you. Please call in if you have any questions, or to introduce yourself before or after school.

There are 23 children in our class, 15 boys and 8 girls. 

We will be getting to know each other and setting routines for the first two weeks. We have swimming daily at 12am to practise for the swimming sports so children need togs for this.
We will be doing some art for the flower show at Waimahaka on13th February in the first week of term. Library day at school is each Wednesday, and I really like children to be getting new books each week.

Starting in week 2 there will be a homework sheet, as well as reading each night. There will be information on this sheet for you. Homework is not meant to be stressful. It is meant to practice work or reading at an easy level, so stop and let me know if there are any issues. Usually on shorter weeks eg. Waitangi there is no homework sheet.

Kind regards
Karen Dagg.
