Mrs Reddy’s Classroom Newsletter


Greetings to you all and I hope that you  all had a lovely holiday and the children are well rested for the last term of the year. I had a lovely time in Brisbane for 10 days and wish I could have brought the warmth back with me..

We have a very busy term planned which will keep us well occupied. On Wednesday we are having a retreat at Te Rangi Marie Centre(see attached letter) and athletics training in preparation for the school  and South East zones  competitions begin this week.

Thanks for your support of the Mission Fair and I am very proud of my students who organized and managed the whole event .
 
 
The students will continue to need a lot of guidance and support in keeping the routines to engage in learning.. I hope that  the children will work on becoming self-propelled learners  and develop this responsibility with a positive attitude.I shall endeavour to do the best I can to ensure their progress in all areas. The  assertive discipline policy in my class will be continued to help  those children who still need help in acquiring  appropriate behaviours  and work habits.

Reminders to Students
