WELCOME TO CLASS 1/2I
We are excited to be a part of your child’s learning journey in Stage 1. Our class consists of 10 Year 2 students and 14 Year 1 students.
It has been a busy start to the year, and everyone has settled in well. In 1/2I we are focused on building positive wellbeing by adapting a growth mindset, seeing mistakes as learning opportunities, celebrating each other’s achievements and most importantly demonstrating kindness to all.
Mrs Ingram will be teaching the class on Monday’s, Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s and Thursday’s and Mrs Brook will teach on Friday’s.
Our classroom theme is Jungle and we are surrounded by lush plants and amazing animals who watch over our learning. Each day we have new park rangers who patrol the environment and keep everything in check. A visit to the tree house (reading corner) is a much sought after adventure. Our week is as follows:
• Library/History – Tuesday with Mrs Duke.
• Creative artsPE- Thursday with Mrs Brook.
• Science- Monday with Mrs Bevan
• Sport – Friday. Please ensure that your child is wearing their sports uniform, brings their hat and water bottle.
• Homework – Homework is handed out on Mondays and returned to school for marking on Fridays.
• Scripture/non-scripture – Tuesday, the whole school participates in scripture or non-scripture classes for 30 minutes.
• Assembly – Twice per term @ 2.20pm
• 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.
• Class incentives: Thumbs Up, spinning wheel and brag notes are 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. We are really looking forward to working with the amazing students of 1/2I and their families this year. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you need anything.
Kind regards,
Leah Ingram and Matt Brook
