Class Swimming<br />
S2 swimming day is Monday…please ensure your child has their swimming<br />
gear every Monday. Swimming is part of the curriculum and all children are<br />
expected to swim. Please provide a quick note if your child is unable to<br />
swim.<br />
Homework<br />
It is the policy of the school not to provide set homework rather your child<br />
should practice basic facts, reading and spelling.<br />
I do provide mathematic tasks via Study Ladder and also an online reading<br />
programme to compliment classwork, this not compulsory but I find<br />
children enjoy this. You will be provided with passwords shortly.<br />
Throughout the year your child may be given and independent research<br />
assignment to complete.<br />
Food<br />
I am very happy for children to eat fruit during class sessions as it helps<br />
them keep focussed. I provide a microwave and sandwich press if you wish<br />
your child to have a hot lunch. Please ensure they have microwaveable<br />
dishes as needed.
ICT<br />
I fully implement ICT throughout my teaching programme and your child<br />
will have full access to ICT equipment. Lessons are given on computer use,<br />
internet awareness, using cameras – both point and shoot and SLR.<br />
They will also have lessons on web design and blogging and will be<br />
responsible for working on their own web pages. You can view these on the<br />
class site http://www.roomtenlyallbay.com<br />
As per school policy your child will also work on their E-portfolios<br />
throughout the year. You can view and share these with your child at<br />
Parent-Teacher interviews or at any time you want to pop in and have a<br />
look.<br />
Student webpages will be viewable from Week 3.<br />
Thinking Skills<br />
Some of the ‘thinking skills’ we be using in class are DeBono’s 6<br />
Thinking Hats, Blooms Taxonomy, Thinkers Keys….I attached some<br />
information for you.<br />
Contact<br />
You can contact me via the school office or email::<br />
rochelle@lyallbay.school.nz<br />
If you could provide me your email address then I can email any important<br />
information etc.<br />
It is vital we have current contact details for parents, if your details have<br />
changed please let the school office know.<br />
Regards<br />
