Room One is a busy little classroom with 20 students and is continuing to grow. Below are a few important things you need to know about being in Room 1. Nightly ReadingIt is extremely important when children first start school they read every night. Please ensure you spend 15-20 minutes reading each night and discussing the story they read. Your child will have a reading diary which will come home each night. This is a great communication device as I read it each day. Please feel free to write any notes you may have as well as making a comment about your child’s reading. Each Friday your child will bring home a clear file with our weekly poem. This counts as a nights reading. Every night counts as we are trying to reach our reading milestones. P.E. DayThis term our physical education day is Tuesdays. Room 1 students need to wear their full P.E uniform with sneakers on Tuesdays. Students must wear black PE shorts, RVS P.E shirt and sneakers. StationeryPlease talk to the office about stationery as we already have packs made up and ready to go for each class. ScriptureEach term we encourage our students to commit a passage of scripture to memory and recite it to their teacher. These will be placed on Room One’s Blog page. You can search for scripture under 'Categories' (at right). ContactMy e-mail is Miss.Galloway@rvs.school.nz. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns or messages. Our Classroom ValuesExpectationsHi everyone, Welcome to the new school year! By the sounds of Room One’s holiday stories you have all had a great summer break. Beaches, camping, fishing, swimming, BBQ’s, both national and international trips all such wonderful experiences! I’m thrilled to start the year with 14 gorgeous little ones. This year we have had 4 new students join our RVS community. Welcome Jordana, Anthony, Noah and Sarang. It is so great to have you and your families joining the Room One team. We have such a busy beginning of term with learning new routines, swimming, our parent evening and our goal setting interviews. (Information about these will be going shortly). I believe that communication is key in the success of your child and a great teacher/parent relationship. I encourage you to contact me of you have any questions or concerns at any time. This year I look forward to working with you to develop your child's learning. In order to support your child’s learning, I ask that you ensure he or she:
Reading HomeworkOur daily reading programme will begin next week. A daily reading book will be sent home in your child’s reading folder with their yellow reading log each day. Discuss the book topic and each picture together as you read. Once your child has read to you please fill out the reading log with a comment. On Fridays children will bring home a poetry folder (A4 clear file) with a poem that we have been reading and discussing as part of our language programme for that week. Please read this with your child and ask your child about some of the things they have discussed or learnt in class to do with this poem. Children are free to read their own reading books over the weekend. Please remember to fill in their reading log as students have reading milestones to reach and the more books read the quicker they reach their target. Important notes for Swimming
A few notes for the TermAssembly: Room One will be running Assembly in Week 4 (26th February) Uniform: Please make sure your child is wearing the correct uniform. Any questions please come and see me or Maria in the office. Little accidents sometimes happen at school so it may be a good idea to pack a spare pair of shorts and underwear in their school bag for these occurrences. P.E Day: P.E day is going to be Thursdays for this term only and students need to wear their full school P.E gear with sneakers to school on Thursdays. Parent Info & Meet the Teacher Evening TUESDAY NIGHT, 9th February, 6:30pm to 7:45pm There will be a child-minding service in the hall (Ages 5 to 12). Looking forward to seeing you at parent night! |
