Dear Readers,
We hope you have enjoyed the break from school routines and your children are recharged ready for another busy term ahead. A little info relating to the week ahead….
Odd Socks: If you have an odd spare sock at home please send it along with your child during the first week back to school. The children have opportunities to communicate their learning in a variety of ways (other than just pencil in their books). One of their favourite ways is using individual mini whiteboards and markers. Socks are used as an eraser for the whiteboards and also a handy way to store individual markers.
Maths challenges: Some of you have asked about home maths challenges for the students. One starting point is the resource Nrich (nrich.maths.org). This website is full of puzzles and challenges that encourage children’s mathematical engagement and thinking in a wide range of ways. If you do explore Nrich at home, we would love to hear any feedback about what your child liked about it (or didn’t like, if that’s the case). We hope you enjoy it.
Notes: A note about the JP special lunch order was sent home today as well as a note about your child bringing in a small jar or container to school for a planned science experiment. It would be great if these jars/containers could be brought in by Monday, week 2.
Room 22 are library legends!
As a reward for the continuous respect shown during our library visits, the students in room 22 have been invited for a VIP morning tea and movie this Friday. Room 22 earned a green sticker every single week last term! I’m so proud of how Room 22 consistently demonstrates our school values of care, respect and safety. Please return the consent form on the bottom of this note to give permission for your child to watch the movie Moana (PG) on Friday morning.
Room 22 Assembly.
Room 22 will be hosting the next JP assembly (Friday 12th May) at 11:15 am in the hall. All parents and family members are invited to attend. The students would love to see you there.
Kind regards,
Marie 🙂
