Book fair fun!

Today we were lucky enough to go and check out the pirate themed book fair! It was an awesome opportunity for the children to see what books were for sale and check out the little things that they might like to buy with their pocket money. They each chose a book that they would like to maybe purchase and I recorded this information on a wishlist that was sent home today. Check out the class picture of the students with their favourite book they found at the fair.

The book fair is open until Thursday in the school library in the morning before school, at lunch time and after school. Heaps of great bargains to be had ! Don't forget to enter the daily competition too!!

Also Friday is dress up day! You can either get in theme as a pirate or dress up as your favourite book character, don't forget your gold coin donation too.

Yoga for kids

Each day Room 5 takes part in a yoga session for children. The yoga moves are incorporated through a story told by the instructor. Yoga helps maintain flexibility and can improve focus. It is great to see them all giving it a go and to see who can complete the moves and who needs a little more practise!

Here are the beautiful smiley faces of Room 5! We have 12 students at the moment with more starting in a couple of weeks. Everyone has settled in really well and are all getting used to the rules and routines of school.

Room 5 and their awesome writing!

Hello Term 2!!

Welcome back to school!! Room 5 has had a few changes! Today we greeted 4 brand new faces - Levi, Navaya,Hendrix and Aaron all had their first day of school.


Due to the increase of students in Room 5 last term, some of our students moved into the new Room 6 with Mrs Trebes - I checked in with them and they all had a great day .

To strengthen our home / school partnership I have introduced Room 5 to Seesaw. Seesaw is an app that links students school life with home. Seesaw is a way to "include families in the learning process by inviting them to view updates to their child's Seesaw journal." 

Students are in charge of the posts that are put on Seesaw, which then come to me for approval. Parents only have access to their child's journal, via the QR code that has been sent home. Please feel free to add comments on your child's posts as this will encourage the use of the app.It would be great to have all parents on board with this.

Finally, just a few reminders for the term.

• Our first bell goes at 8.55am , all students must be at school by this time, if you arrive after this bell please report to the office to let them know your child is here but late.
•  Book bags & notebooks need to come to school everyday. This is an essential communication tool and contains homework and notices.
• Uniform - Please ensure all clothing is named, and when the weather gets wet , a spare set of clothes is a great idea.
• Class blog - It would be awesome to have comments left on our blog so we can see who is reading our posts - feel free to share it with family and friends.

Room 5 had a great start to the term, despite the rushed start with the fire drill! Many thanks to those parents who brought their children to the field. It was unusual to have this happen before school starts! If you are at school and hear a continuous bell , everyone is to make their way to the field as quickly and calmly as possible. We discussed this in Room 5 and will have another talk tomorrow to make sure students remember what to do in this situation.

Have a great week!!
