My best birthday cake ever! by Alex

At my birthday I got a chocolate cake. It was a circle and my mum and dad were there. I even had friends called Blake Jayden Amy Alice. I had six candles. My party was at Xtreme. At my birthday when I blew the candles we turned off the light. I liked the cake because it was chocolate. It was fun on my birthday. My cake was very delicious.

Check us out at Northern Arena!

Swimming!!

Just a reminder we will begin swimming at Northern Arena on Monday 16th March. Some things you will need to remember:
* All payments must be made before Monday or children will not be allowed to swim and will be left at school with another class.
* Arrive at school in plenty of time before the school bell at 8.50am as we are the first bus travelling to Silverdale so won't be able to wait for anyone who arrives late at school.
* All children must wear swimming caps, goggles are optional.
* Children can wear their swimming costume under their uniform as we swim so early in the day. Children will need to pack a towel and underwear in a plastic bag into their normal school bag.

2015..

Wow! What a great start we have had so far. 2015 will be an awesome year, with so many exciting things to share and lovely people to get to know.

A bit about me...

My name is Nicole Rose and I have been teaching for 12 years. I have experience across every level of primary school, in classrooms, teaching IT and relieving teachers for CRT. I have been at Oteha Valley School since the middle of 2011 but have had some time off recently with my family. My husband and I live on the Hibiscus Coast with our 3 children Ava, Isaak and Eden.

Communication..

My door is always open for a quick chat in the mornings before school from 8.30am. After school we have meetings beginning immediately after school finishes on Tuesday and Wednesday. If you need a more in depth chat please email me and we can make a suitable time to get together. Notices will always be sent home in book bags and our school newsletter is emailed to you at home.

Uniform..

It is great to see everyone looking amazing in their full school uniform so quickly into the year. I will be so proud to take Room 6 on outings outside of the school when you all look so smart. Remember to always wear your black shoes, with no extra colours or patterns on them.

Please remember:

·         *School is open from 8.15am. Children will not be supervised before this time so for their safety it is best to arrive after this time.

·         *Hats at school every day in Terms 1 and 4

·         *Library day is Thursday

·         *Book bags and reading logs to school every day.

·         *Each child has a day assigned to them for news sharing. Please discourage your child from bringing in lots of precious items and things can be easily lost and damaged. The purpose of news is to build our oral language skills and develop the Who, What Where, When, Why and How of events.
