Kia ora koutou
Welcome to the new year in Room 5.
My name is Olive Jones. The children call me Ms Jones. I have been teaching at Hamilton East for many years. I lead the Arts and am involved in promoting the Enviroschools philosophy in our school. I am a keen gardener and printmaker. I love doing art with children and you can look forward to some lovely pieces of work coming home at the end of the year.
I have a Learning Assistant with me and her name is Val. Please visit our room when you drop off your child if you can and introduce yourself, if you haven't already.
There are 26 children in our class, all Year 2s. Some children are still five and others are already six.
If you haven't purchased your child's stationery it would be great if you could do so as soon as possible so we can all start working in our books.
Please check your child's book bag for notices. There will be a team letter coming home soon explaining how we do things in our class.
I look forward to meeting you at the family picnic on Thursday the 25th of February,
Ngā mihi,
Olive
