Welcome
back to Ebbett Park School and a warm welcome to our new students. Everyone has
made a positive start and look like they are really to get stuck into their
learning. They are a friendly and helpful bunch of kids.
This
year we have lots of things happening.
Stationary
Stationary
packs have gone home. I would really like to have these sorted by this Friday so
we can start setting up classroom expectations, label books and get stuck into
our learning. If there are any issues with payment please contact me or Lynda
in the office.
Seesaw
is the platform we are using for student learning portfolios. This is being
used schoolwide. Students brought home a laminated sheet for setting up the
Seesaw app. The QR Code is for your child – please don’t fold the sheet as the
QR code will not work. This can be set up on a smartphone, ipad, tablet or PC. If you are having any problems please come
in and see me. Once you are set up
you will receive a message everytime I put something on Seesaw related to your
child. You will also be able to comment on your childs learning.
Swimming
We
are swimming most days. It is essential that all students bring their togs. Our
pool is not too deep and students can stand up in it. If your child is unable
to swim due to illness please inform me.
Camp 2016.
This
year all the year 5 & 6 students are going to Guthrie Smith (Tutira) for
their camp. This will be held in Term 4 (18th – 20th of
October). You would have noticed a camp deposit in the stationary order. This
deposit is so we can confirm the booking. They final costing has not yet been
confirmed and I will get something out shortly. We will also need parent help
and help with transport to and from camp.
I
look forward to catching up and meeting any new parents during the year. If you
wish to contact me directly please e-mail me.
