Dear Wilkins Families,
A big welcome to all the new families who have just
started with us this year. It has been
such a nice week to get to know all our new children and watch them enjoy their
new play space. They all have settled well into our environment and we look
forward to an exciting year ahead.
We have started our week with stories about starting
school. In the classroom, we have begun
emphasising where our belongings
are, what belongings we have and who
we belong too. We have begun to explore our room and where
things live when they are not being used. We have started to explore in depth
what each play space in the classroom is used for, so that we can help each of
us learn safely together.
Just a few quick reminders
Firstly, can families try to arrive before 9am where
possible. We have our morning meeting time at 9:15am where we all come together
to learn about each other and explore things as a group.
Secondly, can we all remember to name all our belongs even
our shoes and socks. We will do our best
to keep things in place but we have many shoes that are the same brand or style,
and it can get quiet confusing for us and the children.
Lastly, please return your Seesaw permission slip and
log onto Seesaw as soon as possible. We are hoping to consolidate our
communication to one platform so paper and this blog will be gone soon. We will be relying on Seesaw for our
communication means too. If you have any
questions about Seesaw please don’t hesitate to ask a teacher.
Enjoy your lovely warm weekend
From
Miss Kathy, Miss Melissa, Miss Courtenay and Miss
Ellen
