Welcome Back for 2012
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Welcome back to Term 1 2012 and to Stage 3. This year our classes are made up of year 5 and 6 students. Your classroom teachers for this year are Mr Latimore and Mrs Pietsch. Other teachers of stage 3 will be Mrs Smith (Art and Reading ), Mrs Salm (Library), Mrs Blatch (Music) and Mrs Willis (Learning Support and Reading ).
This year stage 3 will operate in an open learning classroom plan. Students will have an allocated home teacher for the purpose of roll marking, organisation and reporting, however will move between classrooms and work with both teachers throughout each day. Students will continue to work in an allocated reading group each morning. Following reading, Stage 3 students will go to maths groups. The remainder of the key learning areas will be taught by both teachers. This open plan learning will be further outlined during our ‘Meet the Teacher Evening’ in week 3.
We would like you to feel comfortable approaching either of us to discuss any class issues whether it may be related to school work, classroom or playground. We are available most mornings before school from 8:30am or afterschool at 3pm (except on Tuesday). Please make sure that we are your first port of call if you have any questions or concerns.
Homework
Each week your child will have homework. It is a valuable part of our class learning and consolidation. Homework will include:
- Maths
- Spelling
- Reading/writing text type
In Stage 3 students should be doing around 30-45minutes each night of homework. Homework will be organised in class each Monday and is due back by Friday. Please encourage your child to complete their homework each week. If homework cannot be completed please write a note in the student diary explaining why.
Student Belongings
Please make sure that your child has a pencil case with the following items: labelled glue stick, blue and red pens only, lead pencils, coloured pencils, sharpener, eraser and textas. They will also need a library bag. Each student is also being asked to provide 1 box of tissues for our classroom. These are well appreciated.
Stage 3 Excursion
This year our major excursion is to Bathurst goldfields in term 3. There will also be smaller trips and conferences as well as the boys camp in term 4 and the girl’s ‘Shine’ program.
School Uniform
Please ensure that your child wears the correct school uniform each day. Hats must be worn in the playground and we uphold a “No Hat No Play” policy. Please ensure that coloured hair bands, nail polish and jewellery are not worn.
Thank you for your support. We look forward to an exciting year and will further outline our expectations and programs on Tuesday 21st February at ‘Meet the Teacher’.
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs Di Pietsch and Mr Thursday 13 October 2011
