Totara Team
Rooms 25-26-27-2811 February 2010
Dear Parents
Welcome to the Totara Team, especially to new families who have moved to our school. We hope you have all had an enjoyable and relaxing holiday break. The year has begun well and we are all looking forward to the exciting learning that will take place and the challenges of 2010. The establishment of routines across our team are a consistent focus, and most of the children are aware of the structure of a day at school beginning promptly at 8:55 am. To encourage independence we want the children to hang up their own bags, bring in their book bags, brain snack and water bottle, plus their news items for the day, help put the chairs down and put out their writing folders. This means it would be helpful if your child could arrive between 8.30 am and 8.45 am.
