What a wonderful first week we have had in Room 1! I have seen so much enthusiasm for learning, and have had many interesting class discussions in the first four days of the school year.
I have begun to read a novel to the class about a girl and her family who flee from Afghanistan for a better life in Australia. We do discuss topics in the news and what is happening in different parts of the world, but your child may want to ask you more in-depth questions. I encourage them to discuss these topics with their parents as well.
Our topic is communities in Medieval Times / Middle Ages. Some homework has been set around this topic.
Swimming this week
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. Please ensure that children have their swimwear at school. The tutors from the Aquatic Centre are taking lessons in our pool over the next two weeks.
Meet the Teacher
Thursday at 4.05 - 4.30pm. I look forward to meeting you all. Individual interviews will happen at the beginning of Term 2. Please see me if you have any concerns about your child's learning.
Beginning of Year Mass
2pm on Thursday in the Church. All families welcome.
Water Bottles
I have suggested that children bring water bottles to school over these next months when it is so hot. They may have them in class so that they can drink when they need to.
