CLASS 1/2 BULLETIN TERM 4, 2013
Every dayArrival time
It is important that children arrive at school before the first
school bell (8:55am). Before learning time beginsstudents have
important opportunities to play and catch up with their friends
socially. When children enter the
classroom it is time to focus on learning and the chance
forhellos and play is over until recess. Arriving to class
latemakes it very hard for children to begin work and can add to
anxiety socially or emotionally.
