Hi there.
Thank you to all of the people who came along to meet the teacher last night. I enjoyed seeing so many of you there, and I appreciated the thoughtful questions that were asked. If you forgot to take either of the handouts (the numeracy booklet or the 'information about your child' form) and you'd like me to send them home for you, please let me know. If you were unable to come, and would like a copy of the power point for the evening (or if you were there and are wildly interested in the slides that wouldn't play!!!) let me know and I can send them home too.

Camp again!
Hi there
Thank you to all of the parents who volunteered to help on our camp this year. As we had so many volunteers we had to ballot for places. The parents who have been chosen have been listed on today's newsletter. We really do appreciate all of the offers of support, and we hope that if you were unsuccessful this time you may be able to come along on another trip later in the year.

Swimming and other things...
Hi
It's hard to believe we are into week 3 already, the past two weeks have flown by, and I've really enjoyed getting to know the children and finding out about their strengths and goals. I have particularly enjoyed seeing how thoughtful they are, we have a class of children who think about others and offer deep responses to questions and discussions.
It has been disappointing to have had to postpone the swimming sports these past few days, and we are very hopeful that we will be able to go ahead with them tomorrow. The temperature of the pool will be very cold after the recent weather, so the children may like to bring an extra towel if they are competing in more than one race. They will definitely need their polarfleece during their waiting times.
I am really looking forward to seeing you at Meet the Teacher on Wednesday night,. If you are unable to make it please feel free to drop into the class after school some time, to chat about how the class programme works, alternatively I can give you a copy of the information that I plan to present on Wednesday.
Have a great week!

Swimming Sports
Hi there
The school swimming sports has been postponed, so will not be held tomorrow as previously advertised. We are hoping to hold the sports on Friday, although the weather forecast isn't great for then either. It seems most likely that the swimming sports will be held next Monday, the 16th of February.
Due to this change lunch orders will be available tomorrow.

Camp!
Last Thursday the children were given their first notice regarding camp. If your child did not receive a notice for any reason, there are spares on the notice board in the class room. If you would like to help with camp in any capacity, please return the form provided by Tuesday 10th February.
The camp is shaping up to be an exciting and challenging event for the children - I can't wait!

Room 9 Newsletter
3 February 2009
Hi, and welcome to a new year, and the first term in Room 9 at Fendalton School. I do hope that you have had a chance to relax with family and friends over the summer break.
As you may be aware, this is my second year at Fendalton School. Prior to coming to Fendalton I spent 7 years teaching in both the junior and senior areas of Southbridge School, a small school just south of Leeston. I enjoy teaching at all levels of primary school, with each year having its own special features. I particularly enjoy both the challenges and rewards of teaching years 5 and 6, so when I was offered the position of Senior Team Leader near the end of last year I jumped at the chance to move up.
This year I plan to use a blog as a means of communicating with parents, so that I am able to add notes regularly, including links to other sites of interest. School and team notices will still be sent home with the children, as will class newsletters. The address for this blog is http://fosroom9news.blogspot.com/
I value the essential role you play as a parent / caregiver in the educational
development of your child. Your support of what we do in the classroom is vital for learning to be reinforced. If you would like to discuss anything with me, at anytime, please know that you are always welcome. If you need time for an uninterrupted discussion then it is wise to make an appointment. I can be contacted by email, carolyn.gregg@fendalton.school.nz. My telephone extension is 826.
I look forward to a happy and productive year in Room 9.
Kind regards
Carolyn Gregg
