At Tawa School our New Entrants begin school in Room 14. Robyn Warden and Joe Gazzard-Steele are the teachers - rwarden@tawa.school.nz jgazzardsteele@tawa.school.nzWe are very fortunate to have an outdoor space where children can engage in learning such as water play, sand play, sports activities while still being accessible to the classroom. This helps to make the transition from the early childhood setting easier. Children in Room 14 will receive reading homework each day. A reading book and Early Words folder will be sent home with your child, for you to support their in class learning. Please take time each evening to look at these and spend time sharing in your child's learning. We also have a class blog which is regularly updated and we would love you to visit this to see what the children are up to and comment on and share in their learning. Home and school relationships are key to positive transitions to school life. |
