Rooms 11, 12, 13, 14 and 3
20 April 2014
Welcome back. We would like to welcome all the new children and their families.
The following are just a few reminders to enable our classrooms to run smoothly.
Bookbags.
Every child in the junior school at Pukete School is expected to have a bookbag. These need to be brought to school every day. If your child does not have his or her bookbag at school no reader will be sent home.
Readers
Your child will bring home a reader from Monday to Thursday. This book will either be at or below his/her reading level. If there are any concerns over the levels of these books please let us know. Each Friday a poem and phonics sheet will be sent home for reading practice.
Library
Room 3, Room 13 and 14’s library day is Friday and Rooms 11 and 12’s day is Thursday. Your child will bring home a library book each week. Please return these on or before library day. Children in the junior school are allowed one book at a time.
Drink Bottles
Please provide your child with a drink bottle to be kept in their bag during the week. These will be filled with water only, for use during the classroom hours. Drink bottles will be sent home each week to be cleaned. Please return them each Monday. These are important even as the weather gets cooler.
Fruit Break
Each day children will be required to have a piece of fresh fruit or vegetable (chopped up) for a healthy fruit break in the morning. Please do not send fruit or vegetables that require peeling or cutting as we do not have the facilities to cater for this.
Clothing
It is timely to remember that the school uniform policy is that children should not wear garments that are visible underneath their uniform. A sleeveless singlet is more than adequate in our warm rooms. Please remember that long socks and stockings should be black or dark blue.
Please name all clothing (name behind the school emblem as well as on the tag). This will enable children to keep track of their own clothing. All children need to be provided with a spare set of clothing to be kept in their schoolbag (this should include underwear). This does not have to be uniform. If your child needs to change and a spare set of clothing has not been provided parents will be contacted.
Money
All money should be placed in a named envelope and put in the box in the office.
Classroom Routines
Class lessons begin at 8:55am. Children are welcome in the classroom after 8:30am. There is NO supervision available before this time. Children must remain in the SENIOR quad area until 8:30 (with or without an adult.) We would ask that at the end of the day parents and caregivers wait outside until the children have been dismissed. It is disruptive when children are removed from the classroom before 3pm.
Term Programme
Our themes this term are “Autumn”, ‘Keeping Ourselves Safe’ and ‘Dinosaurs’
Thank you for your support and encouragement in Term One, we look forward to working with you and your children this term.
