Late slips
If your child is late, please go through the office and sign your child in.
The bell for school goes at 8:45. Even if your child is 5 minutes late it is unexplained unless they come to me with a slip from the office.
I understand that children may be late at times and that is fine, I just have to make sure that the school's policy and procedures are being followed, since I am legally responsible for their attendance.
It is very easy in the morning when there are lots of things happening for me to not notice that a child has come into class quietly without a slip and I have told the office that they are not in class. This is happening more often and is a concern.

Change in homework
Today the children have been told how homework is going to go from now on.
On Monday, children will be given one piece of maths and one piece of reading homework. They will have monday and Tuesday night to complete their homework. They need to bring their homework books back on Wednesday.
Everyone should also have a reading log that their have taken home. The reading log is for you to fill in when your child has read their reader to you. Some children have only 1 book that they take home, due to the length and difficulty, and some may have 2. Children that have only 1 book are given the opportunity to choose another book from their group box.
The challenge is to get to 50 books, but they may only record the books they can read independently.
Please do not record any library books that the children have taken out from the library in this reading log. Library books are not pitched at their instructional level and that is what this reading log is for.
Many Thanks,
Joy Kraan

Book bags
Hi Everyone,
I have noticed that some children are repeatedly not coming home with book bags or not bringing them to school everyday.
It is really important that children bring their book bags to school everyday and remember to bring them back because if there are no spare book bags I cannot send their daily reading books, homework books, publishing folders or poem books with them home.
Everyday 15 minutes before the bell, we all tidy up and the children are instructed to bring their book bags and bags onto the mat to pack them into their bags.
In term 1, I did a check after the bell and delivered a lot of book bags to children who were already lined up for buses, but with term 2 into full swing, I expect that children know the routine and are able to monitor their own belongings.
The children are reminded everyday and they are given plenty of time to get themselves ready for the end of the day, however, if after this they still forget the child themselves is responsible for this. It may be a good idea to set up a sticker system at home if your child finds it difficult to remember their book bags to make them monitor this more closely.
The children have been given the children a reminder today that they have to remember and that it is their job to do so. Hopefully everyone will remember next week.
Enjoy your weekend! I think the children are very tired and they have worked really hard!
Kind Regards,
Joy Kraan

World of Maths
On Thursday, we have a very special visit of 'the world of maths'!
Notices have been sent out and children have been bringing their $5 to go to the expedition.
There will be 16 stations for the children to go around and there will be a worksheet that is associated with it. As you can understand organising this with juniors requires a lot of parental help. We need to have 16 parents across Room 1-3 to take our 16 groups around.
Please, Please, Please could you let me know whether you can help with this on Thursday 16th of May.
Many Thanks,
Joy Kraan
