Welcome to 2020 and the Year Two team! Anna, Sarah and I are very excited about the year ahead and are looking forward to getting to know you all.
Thank you to all those families who were able to make it to our whānau connect meetings last week- they are always a valuable source of information for us to be able to understand your child and their needs.
The children all appeared to have a great day back on Friday- we did some very cool art, so please feel free to come in and have a look!
This week we will be still concentrating on continuing to get to know all our of our students, but also will be slowly introducing some reading, writing and maths routines. Please be aware that our formal guided teaching groups will not fully be up and running until we have had a chance to really understand the needs within our team.
In the meantime please continue to read with your child, play maths games or write stories together- this partnership between home and school is so important for a child's overall learning. Thank you for all your efforts over the long summer break!
Important things to know for Week 2
- For one of our upcoming art projects, could your child please bring in any " treasures" from home that they would like to add to their self-portrait to show their individual style. This could be glitter, crinkly cellophane, ribbons, sparkly material, camouflage, special paper, anything that your wee " magpie" might like to add onto their creation. We hope to start this next art on Wednesday, so any treasures that you find may be placed into your child's "book box" to keep them safe. Many thanks!
- Wide-brimmed sun hats are compulsory for all students
- Please send a full drink bottle of water each day
- Whānau Picnic 5.30p.m Week 3, Thursday 20th February.
- Our first Timatanga assembly will not be until Week 4 (28th Feb)this term (fortnightly on even weeks)

Please feel free to come in and have a chat with any of us if you have any queries or concerns.
Have a great week
Wendy, Sarah and Anna
