M Block's Term 1 News!

Hi guys, here's some of the important information from our term 1 newsletter.  Remember you can download and print our full newsletter by clicking on the link at the top of our blogspot or by clicking HERE!

Welcome back to school for another exciting year!  This term is shaping up to be a busy one and we're going to make the most of it!  Over the last 2 weeks we have been getting to know everyone, revisiting next learning steps, setting goals, and getting learning programmes underway.  Now that routines have been established and expectations have been set GET READY because there is SO MUCH to look forward too and HEAPS of fun and learning ahead of us!

Our newsletter is designed to go on your fridge or notice board as a quick reference to what's happening in M block this term.  It contains information about learning, upcoming dates and events, and important information regarding homework, behaviour management, and golden time.  If you have any questions or concerns please contact your child's teacher to arrange a time to meet.

You may already be aware that in M block we cross group for numeracy to ensure children are grouped according to their ability and that individual needs can be met.  This means that your child may have a different teacher at maths time.  This week we are completing our beginning of year testing which may result in some children being moved around as we fine tune our maths groups.  In addition to our numeracy programme we are fortunate to have Bernice running exra numeracy sessions as part of our teacher aide time.  These sessions are designed to give kids in need a short sharp boost in their numeracy knowledge.  More information on these sessions can be found below.

Thank you to all the parents attending this weeks Meet the Teacher Evening.  We see it as a fantastic opportunity to meet our paretns and caregivers and to spend some time explaining our learnign programmes, our routines, and our expectations for your children.  We will also be able to provide you with a copy of your children's next learning steps and goals for this term, we look forward to seeing you there!
