Welcome to all the Parents and Caregivers of Room 22

My name is Adam Harbott and I am really excited to be able to teach your child this year. This is my second year teaching after a year in a rural school.

Over the past few days, we have been developing our treaty and routines for our classroom. We are learning about what is important in our classroom, so we can all learn. By discussing our ideas, the children and I have come up with rules and routines together that will enable us to learn in a positive and caring environment.

Uniform: It was really awesome seeing the students come back to school in their uniforms.  Please make sure that each uniform item is named so your child can take care of their belongings. Don’t forget this term children need to wear their brimmed hat.

Swimming: Our swimming days are Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  Please ensure your child brings their togs and towel in a named plastic bag on these days.

Topic: Our topic this year is Treasure. We will be looking at all meanings of this word and trying to understand that it doesn’t always have to be something we can hold for it to be treasured.

Educational Trips: Learning outside of the classroom is very important for our students.  There will be several trips this year, which will be very exciting! More information about these events will be sent closer to the time.

Homework: For homework, the children will have a reading book each night and maths basic facts to learn. It would be great if you could support your child in these areas.

If you have any concerns regarding your child, or have any questions or comments, please be in contact. I look forward to working along side you and your child this year.

Kind regards

Adam Harbott
