We are back!!! How quickly did those summer holidays go? It is good to be back at school, in what we all hope is a trouble free year. 2021 is shaping up to be quite the year! We have a lot of thing planned and this starts with our Goal Setting Interviews on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. If you haven't booked a time to see me, or these times do not suit, please let me know.
We have a great class this year, and it is really good to see some of the Year 8 boys stepping up and showing a good deal of responsibility, looking out for the Year 7 students, and helping out with the setting up and putting away the athletics equipment each afternoon.
We go to camp in the last week of school (12th April - 16th April). Borland is always a favourite with both students and parent helpers. We will have a camp meeting in weeks to come.
This week we have done a writing sample, a spelling test and a quick revision of basic facts, multiplication and division. Some students need a little time to get out of "Holiday Mode" (actually, so does a teacher or two!) Next week we are lucky to be starting Art with Alice - she is amazing - and this will be a fantastic opportunity for the students to learn some great techniques.
Athletics is coming up in a couple of weeks and we have been out every afternoon practicing the events for this day. Please make sure your child has their sports uniform packet every day, and their hats - Term 1 and 4 are Hat Terms - in this heat they are essential items!
If you have any queries, questions, want to have a look around the class, come and visit us - just make sure you scan in first and sign in at the office. We welcome parents visiting to see what we are doing!
It's great to see and hear of these brand new year eights already showing leadership. Keep up the hard work Room 9.
ReplyDeleteFantastic start to the year Room 9. I'm really looking forward to working with you all this year. I can see that you are already great role models.
