If you are attending the school would like students to please wear their Copperfield school shirts if they have one. Thanks

Room Parent

Good Afternoon everyone. Thank you to families that came to see me last week. It was great to be able to jump on the same page and create positive, achievable goals for the students. During the conferences I asked parents who are able to volunteer time and/or donate goods for class activities to sign up on a sheet of paper I had. I understand most of you have full time job commitments and cannot do this. Unfortunately my list of names is quite short. So please let me know via email, if you are willing to have your name added to this list. I am also asking if there is anyone who would like to take on the role of being a room parent for the class. This would involve you making an email list of all the volunteers and trying to get help when needed for field trips or in class special events which will be emailed to you ahead of time by myself. I hope to here from some of you so we can have a fun year and be able to go on some great field trips.

Change to our morning entry

Good evening parents and students of 140, We are trialling some new entry and playground routines before and after school to try alleviate the congestion currently occurring. We (our class) will now be entering the school on the opposite side of the school at Door B. Door B is at the staff carpark so we will meet near the grassy area by the bike rack between door B & C. Playground We are so excited that we have the playground open and ready for us to enjoy. With a new playground come some changes to support entry and exit into the school. To help support the space around the playground and keeping everyone safe at Copperfield School, we are putting a schedule in place for the mornings before school. This will help ease congestion and supervision of the students on the playground. Playground Schedule (8:10am-8:25am) K- Friday 1- Thursday 2- Wednesday 3- Tuesday 4- Monday We appreciate your support in helping us communicate and employ this schedule with your studen...

Hello Parents, Sorry I has taken me so long to post on here this year. To cut a long story short I have too many passwords and have to change them too regularly and could get into my blog. It has been an exciting first week in Room 140 and we are starting to develop a more set routine and are beginning to become more aware of, and follow our classrooms expectations. Throughout the year I will try keep you updated on important date and event happening in our class and school. For example today was the first day we were able to use our brand new playground which I am sure you have already heard all about. Next Thursday and Friday is our first Parent Teacher where we will be able to meet and discuss some goals for this year. I look forward to meeting you all. Please keep an eye on this blog throughout the year.
