Week 1

Hi Parents, Caregivers and Students,

Welcome to 2018! I hope you have all had a great holiday and are looking forward to starting a new school year. 

School begins next Wednesday- yay! The classroom will be opened at 8.30am each day, with our day starting promptly at 8.45 with prayers.

Please ensure that your child has all of their stationery and that everything is named. OfficeMax is our stationery supplier of choice. Here is the list on the OfficeMax site.

Every student will have their own desk to neatly keep all of their things in this year.

With the warm weather this term I encourage every student to bring a named water bottle, and not to forget their school hat every day.

We will be swimming every day in ODD weeks this term, starting on the first day of school. Students are expected to swim every day, or provide a note explaining why they are not able to swim.

This term the school’s learning will be based around the concept of Belonging, so we will be doing lots of fun activities around this concept.

The value we will be focusing on is Respect: Respect for Jesus, Respect for others, and Respect for yourself (JOY)

If you would like to contact me, please email me: elianam@stmarysrotorua.school.nz

I check these every morning. It would be great if all parents send me a brief email so that I can add your details to my contact list. Thanks in advance.

Homework this year will focus on reading every night, spelling and learning times tables. 

Completed holiday reading logs are due back in the first week of school.

I look forward to a fun year of learning and discovery in Room 12.

God bless.

Eliana
