2016 Room 5 A Big Welcome

I am very excited about starting a new year and a new class with new children.  Starting school is a very exciting time in your child's life and I feel privileged to be part of your child's learning journey.

 Due to room 1 being re-roofed room 1 has re-located to room 5.  It is a lovely classroom and as this is the warm summer term we will be utilizing the outside areas both in front of the classroom and the large space outside.

Speaking of warm weather we will be swimming everyday, weather permitting.  Please make sure your child brings their tog bag to school everyday.  We will be swimming after lunch with room 2.

It is very important that your child brings a hat and a water bottle to school everyday.  Please put sunblock on your child before school in the mornings.  I do have sunblock in the class for 'top ups'.

Library day is on Thursdays so please remind your child to make sure their library bag is returned each week before Thursday.

Stationary lists will be coming out in the first couple of days.  If it is possible could you please purchase these as soon as you can so your child has the appropriate tools to start learning!

I will be communicating to parents through our wonderful Room 5 class blog.  Please subscribe to this ASAP.  This is as simple as getting onto the Frankley School website going to the Room 5 blog and submitting your email address.  If you are unsure please see me.  If you are not getting any Room 5 updates also let me know as it will be a simple setting problem. 

If you need to contact me my e-mail address is tina@frankley.school.nz 

It is very important that if you have any concerns or  queries please come and see me before or after school.  Sometimes we may need to make a more appropriate time to sit down and talk.  As a parent of a five year old I know how daunting it can be when your child first starts school so please don't hesitate to have a chat with me. 

I look forward to meeting you all.
