Rimu Scooter Info

noreply@blogger.com (Woodstock School) — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:23:00 +0000

On Wednesday 29th of February, Rooms 1, 2, 3 and 4 will be having our annual Tryathlon afternoon. (More information about this will follow at a later date).

During this event, the children will be scootering around the court area. Building up to this day, we would like to provide the children with the opportunity to practise their scootering skills.

To support the children with this, we plan to have time during our weekly Friday Discovery time, for the children to bring their own scooters to school and practice.

The days we plan to have scootering are:

• Friday 10th February
• Friday 17th February
• Friday 24th February

To do this, the children would need to bring their safety gear to wear while scootering. If the children do not have their safety gear, they will not be allowed to practice.

Scooters would be kept in your child’s classroom in an area where others could not touch them.

In accordance with school rules, the scooters would have to be wheeled, not ridden, within the school grounds when arriving to and leaving school.

The only time the children would be permitted to ride the scooters would be after lunch, under teacher supervision.

There will be one or two scooters available for those children who do not have access to scooters at home, but would like to have a go before our Tryathlon day. The teachers will assist the children with this.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to make contact with your child’s teacher.

Thank you for your support,

Rachael Tangney, Susan Johnson, Megan Leitch, Julia Turner, Bronwyn Nicholas
