Week 3 - 17th February

Hello Families,

We hope you had a restful weekend and children managed to catch up on some sleep. Lots of very tired children at the end of last week, (teachers too!!)

Our first full week went really well, with children adapting easily to our Pataki routines and socialising with different children within the class.

A few reminders for the coming week:

-Swimming Tuesday and Friday.

-Instructional Reading Groups start this week. Please be aware we are still working out exactly what level all children are reading at and this will take 1-2 weeks. The books maybe easy at first however they will be adjusted as we go through the term. The idea is that you re read the book at home with your child. This should be low key and enjoyable by all.

-If you would like to talk with us about any pressing concerns please make a time after school with us. As you are aware our mornings from 8.30am are very busy with lots of children still settling in and needing reminding about what to bring in each morning.

-Every morning please remind your child to bring in their reading folder, healthy food snack and drink bottle. Everything else stays in their school bag. Thank you for your support with this.

-Lastly, please remember before 8.30am we are busy preparing and getting ready for the day. We are often in and out of the classroom doing jobs. We ask that you kindly wait until 8.30am before leaving your child in the classroom.

Here are a few photos of our busy beavers in Patiki:
