Wow What a fun start to the year!

I was thrilled when Jayme (one of our classmates) said to me this week "Wow Mrs Dunkley we have done heaps this week and it's only Wednesday". Here are some of the things we have done.

Please check weekly notices for up and coming events.

Welcome, Welcome to Room 4 for 2014. Many of you already know me - in fact 23 children I have already taught previously. How fabulous! I am so looking forward to our topic this term, Citizenship. We will be looking at the first Citizens of Ancient Rome. I am thinking wouldn't it be great fun to have a Roman feast at the end of the term and eat food that the Ancient Romans ate.

If you are reading this during the last week of the holidays, now is the time to be getting to bed earlier so that you are full of energy for a busy term. We will be having swimming early in the term but at this stage I am not sure when our time is. Make sure you have plenty of pens and pencils, and all the other bits and pieces you need for your first day at school.

SEE YOU ALL at 8.30am on Monday the 3rd of Feb.
