Our classroom space
Our classroom space
This is where we put our bags. When you come to school your cubby will be labelled with name and you can keep all your things in it.
This is our classroom space. When you arrive in the morning these toys will be out for you to play with. What might you play with when you come to school?
When you start school you will get your very own reading folder!
In the classroom you have your own tote tray. This is where you can keep things like your reading folder and any work you do.
FISH tickets!
FISH tickets!
We use the FISH values at school and these help us to make sure we are doing the right thing at the right time and creating an amazing and fun environment. Our values are make someone's day, be there, play, and choose your attitude. When you are showing these values you can earn tickets to put in your pocket on the wall just like the one below. When you earn 10 tickets you get to go to fun Friday and when you earn even more you can earn rewards like bands and lunch with the Principal!
This is what our toilets look like at school. They are in the middle of our classroom.
This is our playground. It is new to our school and it is lots of fun!
You can bring your scooter or bike to school too! You can play on it during morning tea and lunchtime on our school bike track!
