Welcome to 1/2A
‘Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world’
Our class is a Stage 1 class made up in of 9 girls and 16 boys. We have spent the first few weeks getting to know each other and building our class culture. We are known as 1/2 Awesome and we are becoming very good at encouraging others and having a go.
I look forward to working with each and every student and their families as we continue on this educational journey.
1/2A timetable
Monday: Library with Mrs Duke, Music with Mrs Maroney. Homework will go home.
Tuesday: Scripture, Science with Mrs Mackay
Wednesday: History/Geography with Mrs Maroney.
Friday: Sport. Students are required to wear their sports uniform on a Friday. Assembly will be even weeks. Please return homework
Fruit Break: Each morning we have fruit break while exploring our Word of the Day. Please include a piece of fruit that is easy to eat in your child’s lunch box each day.
Homework: Students will use a homework matrix for this term. Lots of reading at home is a big focus for the students in 1/2A. If your child is having difficulties with the homework, please encourage them to come and see me.
Class incentives: Class DOJO, Thumbs Up, House points and the classroom visual reward chart is used as the reward system where students are acknowledged for having a go, working as a team and helping others. They are also expected to follow the school’s core values of Respect, Responsibility, Excellence and Resilience.
Absences: When your child is absent from school, we ask that you reply to the school text message with a reason for their absence. This will stop unnecessary telephone calls to be made. An explanation is needed as this is a legal requirement.
Parent communication:
Our main source of communication is through Sentral Parent Portal. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me via this avenue.
Thank you,
Mrs Allen
