Welcome back 2012

A big welcome to all students and families to Room 10 and the 2012 year.  It is wonderful to have a class of enthusiastic, well mannered children who are eager to get on with their learning and excited to be back at school.  We have spent the last two part weeks preparing our books, tables, and ourselves for the routines of our class.  We have begun art work and written some amazing poems about ourselves.  The pool is in use every day (even though we are wondering where summer has gone, or if it even arrived) and the children are getting ready for the swimming competitions at the end of week 4.  We have lots of exciting things planned throughout the school for the year, and already, within class, children have been earning house points and table points.  Today we began our Home Fun ("homework" renamed) books ready for the rewards it earns, not only in our learning, but also outside games and pizza parts........more on that later.  Thank you to parents/caregivers who have sent in books and other stationery.  Now we can begin in earnest.
