How you can help...
 Each classroom works a little differently...
 Assistance is greatly appreciated by most teachers and children and
assists in classroom functioning.
 Please contact us with any additional expertise that you may wish to
offer (whether at home or at school and suitable arrangements can be
made where possible.
 If volunteering within the school you will be required to sign in at the
office and wear a name badge stating that you are a parent volunteer.
Lunches
 All year 4 students sit together and each lunch supervised by one of the class
teachers.
 Please provide a suitable amount of food each day – Learning is hard work!
Brain Break
All classes have “Brain break” at some stage through the morning session depending on
when it is convenient to the classroom routine
 Appropriate snacks would be boiled eggs, tuna, cold meat, fruit, vegetables, extra
sandwiches, yoghurt. (If you are unsure please check with your class teacher)
 Our request that this snack does not contain unnatural sugar.
 We do have children who are allergic to Peanuts so please refrain from sending foods
containing these items.
Tuckshop – A box is placed in each double teaching space. Children can also place
orders at the tuckshop in the morning.
