Getting to know Room 14

Term 1, Week 2

Kia Ora Whanau,

This week in room 14 we are slowly getting to know each other. What we like to do, who to ask for help if we come across a tricky word in reading or who is the most organised.

I  gave everyone in room 14 a term 1 newsletter on Friday, please make time to read it, if not I have posted it on the blog.

Welcome back to term one 2019

I love room 14, let’s get this year moving. I am excited to be back at school, it’s going to be a simply amazing year. My name is Louise Birchall and I  will be your child’s kaiako in room 14. I have been teaching at Kaikohe West for nearly 6 years.
Our term one focus is centred on getting to know your child. What their strengths are and what we can do to develop a teacher to child relationship. Room 14 will be having a sleep over in week 6 this term. We will keep you updated on this.
We will be establishing  routines this term so our learning will be easier to implement and the children will feel comfortable in their learning space. Learning through play will be connected  through all our curriculum areas!

Your child will be bringing home their book bags Monday-Thursday and their poem book on a Friday. Basic sight words will be included, please read these on a daily basis. Your parental input is vital to a successful year of learning and achievement for your child. Teamwork= success!!
I would really appreciate your support over the year, whatever you can do to support and motivate your child would be fantastic. Readers will be starting to go home from Week 3. Can you listen to your child read nightly please this help would be tremendous.
Swimming will start in week 2, our swimming days are Monday and Wednesday Please ensure your tamariki bring their togs,towel and swimming cap in a  plastic bag on these days. Let’s all work together and have a great year at Kaikohe West School.
If you have any questions please come in and hang out with us in rm14. We have an open door policy at school and always a hot cup of tea!!

Sienna and Douglas received certificates on Friday. I found a cute photo of them.

Sienna and Douglas are becoming role models for room 14. They both have a positive attitude towards their learning and never give up!!

Remember we have swimming on Mondays and Wednesdays. Have a terrific weekend. See you all next week.
