Brain Food Break

Due to the bell times changing we have decided to have a 'brain food break' prior to morning tea so that our students will stay alert, on-task, and focused on their learning. 

Bell times are as follows:

8.55am - Start of the day

11am - Morning Tea

11.30am - Class time

12.50 - Lunch

1.40pm - Class time

3pm - Home time

Delicious fruit!

As this is a very quick break and we want to 'feed' their brains, please ensure that there is a healthy food option available in your child's lunchbox.  Food such as fruit and vegetables will need to be cut up as time will be limited.  Please see your child's Home Connection book for further details.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at school.

Welcome Back Room 1!

A huge welcome back to everyone - I am so glad you kept yourselves safe over the holidays. 

As always we have a jam-packed term ahead to look forward to.  Please keep an eye on notices and homework bags to keep you informed about where and when things are happening.

I am always available - we have an open-door policy at Tokomaru School - so please come and see me if you have any questions about your child's learning and development.

Tinch Christmas Colouring Competition

The whole school entered a colouring competition run by Tinch Design Studio at the end of last year.  There were some amazing entries and Tokomaru School did very well - Mikah won a prize of a colouring booklet for her entry.  The judges made this comment: "A lovely luscious green tree, sparkly and fresh with careful detail. Effective outlining, beautiful subtle shimmers on the train, rainbow, owl, guitar and cupcake. This is a very confident use of one hue which has been beautifully finished."  Wow! 

Mikah's entry

Tinch Design Studio has also given the whole school a prize of a rainbow decal for all our amazing entries, so a big congratulations to everyone.

Stationery for 2012

I hope that you are all having a great break with your family and friends, enjoying this great weather! 

If you are looking to label your stationery before you bring everything to school, here are what the books are for:

Scrapbooks:

- Maths x2 (one for assessments and one for daily work)

- Reading

- Spelling

- Poetry

- Topic work (eg: Social Sciences/Science etc)

The two 1I5 books are for Writing.

Please ensure that all pencils, pens, felts etc are labelled with your name on them - vivid or tape work really well for this.
