WEEK ONE      TERM  3

Teacher Only Day Monday!

Welcome to Room 10!  I am Bernadette Hall (Bernie) and I look forward to working with your child and helping them on their learning journey.

On arrival at school please meet Mr Macmillan at the office, David will bring new families over to room 10. 

This week the class will be introduced to the 'golden rules' that our school follow. This is a positive behaviour programme that reinforces taking responsibility for our actions and being kind towards others.
We will also start our literacy and numeracy programmes- looking at letter sounds and names and counting forwards and backwards from 10, making sets of 5.

Room 10 will have some orientation of the school grounds and learn where they can play, find the water fountains, toilets, hall, sandpit, library and room 10!

We will be establishing class routines and group rotations over the next few weeks. The children will be introduced to visual prompts that will help them remember what is happening and what is coming up next.

Your child will bring home- reading book/s each night and a poem, a numeracy or literacy activity each week and a basic words booklet.
Please encourage reading and looking through the word book each night as this will help build their letter sound and word knowledge.

Regarding lunch and morning tea...remember lots of small snacks in easy to access containers are easy for little learners to handle! Also lots of water.

Your child's home book will be sent home each night and needs to come back each day in the school book bag. Please check it for class notices and your child's activities.
On Tuesday I will send home a class letter with information about what is happening this term and my contact details.

Please note Father Mark's farewell is this Wednesday at 10:00am in the school hall. All welcome.


Have a great Monday, I will see you all on Tuesday :-)
