PATIKI 2020
Welcome to our new families and welcome back to the oldies. Our class name is PATIKI. Our key words are QUALITY, DETAIL and SEQUENCE which underpin the learning in Patiki. This term our school-wide focus is Health and P.E.
In Patiki we work as one class so your child may have either Mrs Campbell or Kirsty for Reading, Writing or Maths. Please feel free to see either of us if you have any queries.
In Patiki our expectations are that your child will hang their own bag up outside on the hook and bring their healthy food break into the class and put it in the grey container by the door at this stage. By the time the bell goes the children should have said their farewells and be sitting on the mat ready to start their day.
HEALTHY FOOD BREAK
Each day at 9.30am the children will be having a healthy food break. This needs to be in a named container and bought into class in the morning and put in the grey box by the door. Some suggestions are small sandwich, bun, cheese and crackers, nuts and raisins or fruit.
COMMUNICATION
It is really important that we work together to ensure that all shared information from us is read by you. All our weekly class information is published on our class Blog. Any information or upcoming events for Patiki will be on the blog so please check it regularly. You will need to go on the school website and scroll down to the bottom where there will be a link to Patiki blog. The easiest way to get updated information is to put your email address in the ‘follow by email’ box on the top right of the blog home page and then all updates will be emailed to you each morning. This saves you having to log in and check! Please also check the school newsletter, school website and twitter for school-wide events. Please advise if you do not have access to the internet and we will make alternative arrangements for you.

We will be swimming on Tuesday and Fridays. The lunch time swim for Y1/2 is Tuesdays. As we will be changing in the changing rooms please ensure all items of clothing are well named.
READING
Reading for the first two weeks will be Poetry. Poetry day will then be each Friday. Poetry books will be needed at school every day. These are kept in the boxes by the tote trays. Please encourage your children to put these in the boxes before school. Instructional reading will begin from Week 3. The children will keep their reading books in their reading folder for the week. Please encourage your child or children to reread their previous books. Reading folders will be kept in the box that is named with their reading teacher.
READING BOOK ROSTER AND CLEANING TABLES ROSTER
In the porch area there is a noticeboard and on the notice board there is a roster for both jobs. We would appreciate it if you could put your name beside a week. The books need to be put away in the book room. Full training is given!!! It’s a quick job that can be done anytime from after school Monday through to Friday. Pre-schoolers are welcome. The books just need to be put in order and then replaced on the shelves in the book room. Cleaning the tables is on a Tuesday and Thursday and it just requires a spray n wipe of the table tops.
