Term One is about setting up classroom routines and building relationships. Our Inquiry is called ‘Care and Beware’. Under this umbrella we will inquire into safety and the choices we make e.g. water safety, being sun smart, bike/road safety, etc. Later in the term we will also complete the Keeping Ourselves safe program (more information will be shared later in the term). As a school we are further developing our Enviro knowledge and skills - being Kaitiaki. Adrienne Grant will again be working with us on our project in the orchard area.

All students will receive home learning during 2024. We will start with setting the routines of bringing a bookbag every day and taking reading material home on a daily basis.
We will have a meet the teacher evening where we would like to connect with you to learn more about your child/ren. We will confirm a date for this shortly.
