Labelling Your School Books

We are really looking forward to you coming back to school next week!

If you are wondering what all of those books are for and how you should label them, use the list below to help you. Book coverings like duraseal are handy to help make your child's books more identifiable and harder wearing, but this is not essential.

The children will be using their own equipment so please name all stationery, glue sticks and writing utensils.

Children may use a pencil case if they wish, but they will also be making a pencil/pen holder in the first two weeks. 

Welcome to 2013 in Room 19

I hope everyone has been enjoying their holidays and will have lots of experiences to share when we start back on Monday the 4th of February.

There are a couple of things you might like to start collecting for us;

• clean, empty tin cans with the lids and labels removed - baked beans or tinned fruit sizes are perfect
• clean newspapers
• flattened, empty Weetbix/Cornflakes packets - or others of similar size and card thickness
• a photo of yourself as a baby in a named envelope please (these will be displayed for a couple of weeks then returned)

It was lovely to see Amelia, Alannah and Noah when they popped into the classroom this week and I am looking forward to seeing all your smiling faces again. We are going to have a great year together!
