Term One
Fairburn School Values: Kindness, Respect, Consideration, Honesty, Responsiblity
Key Competences: Relating to Others, Thinking, Using Knowledge and Information, Managing Self and Participating and Contributing

In weeks 6 - 9 into Term Two the children will be learning about "Minibeasts" with our investigation question being "I am a small creature in your backyard, what is special about me?"
Sun Smart
In Term One we encourage the children to be Sun Smart. We ask that all children come to school with a cap or other hat that has a brim to protect their faces. The children also need to keep their water in take up. If possible, we would like children to bring a drink bottle to school so they can fill them with water when needed. Thank you.
We would also like to introduce our year 2 team of teachers...
Mr Tataio in Room 9
Mrs McDonald in Room 10
Mr Wood in Room 11
Mrs Rosie in Room 12
Miss O'Donnell in Room 13
Miss Pritchard in Room 14
... and we all look forward to 2010 working with our students, learning and achieving together.
