Year 1K OLC

 Dear parents,  I hope you have had a great start to your week and have enjoyed hearing about our swimming adventures over the past week and a half. We have loved being down by the bay despite the cooler weather, the water has been like glass! The children were all beautifully behaved and comments were made from the teachers how awesome the Year 1 bunch are which is so great to hear.  We all had a blast! Have a look at some of the pictures from our lessons below... Just a few messages this week... Parents in the classroom: Sadly at this stage parents are no longer able to enter into the classroom in the mornings during gathering time.  As per the government information for schools, parents must also wear face masks at school even when outside. Unfortunately, this also extends to parent teacher interviews so therefore our main port of call will be via email. Please see the previous blog posts if you do not have my email address.

Hello parents! We did it! Our first week of Year One completed! What an absolutely brilliant, fantastic, wonderful first week!  I am so blessed to have such an awesome bunch of children to be a part of the 1K Teal team.  We were busy little bodies all week learning about the big world of Year 1, how to eat and play in the 'big school', all having our own desk to work at, how to get things out and pack away at the end of the day and even went to the new Book Bunker library with the 1S White class to read a story together.  There was lots of questions, lots of answers, lots of learning and a little bit of fun too! It was a big week but a fun one with myself ready for an early night every night so we can do it all again this week.  ‘Me’ Bags: Thank you for helping put together a special bag with items that gave us a little insight into your children.

 Hello and welcome to the Year 1K Teal blog! I hope you have all had a relaxing and peaceful holiday and enjoyed some of this beautiful summer weather!  I am looking forward to getting to know your beautiful children and working with you throughout your child's learning journey this year. Year One is a favourite year to teach for both of us - and each of us have taught it for at least five years on our own and another two years together as a tandem team. We are very excited to be back again for another year in the land of Year One. Your child is lucky enough to have two teachers this year with Mrs Penny King teaching on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday and Mrs Gemma Sorgiovanni teaching on Thursdays. Your will be able to contact either of us anytime throughout the week via email and we also communicate daily with each other.   Following is a very detailed and lengthy email involving a lot of information.  Future ones will be a lot shorter and easier to read ...
