ROOM 1 NEWSLETTER, TERM 4, 2017
Tena koe, Malo e lelei, Talofa lava, Ni Hao, Namaste, Asalaam alaikum, Fakaalofa lahi atu and Hello! Wishing you all a very warm welcome back to school.
Homework: Please ensure that bookbags are brought to school every day, with your child’s signed reading log and homework notebook. If there is no bookbag, it means your child can not take home a reading or library book and misses out on your very important feedback about their learning. We realise that home/school partnership is key to learning success.
Homework Academy is on Tuesdays from 3:15pm - 4:00pm.
Hats and drink bottles: It is our school expectation that in Terms 1 and 4, children must wear a brimmed hat during break times. Please name your child’s hat and water bottle. Thank you for your help in keeping our kids healthy!
PMP (Perceptual Motor Programme) - Monday afternoons and Thursday mornings. We are asking for an hour of your time to help set up the equipment in the Hall. If you can help out, please let me know. Thank you.
