This is the blog of Kindle 2. Kindle 2 is a New Entrant class in the Junior Team at George Street Normal School in the north end of Dunedin.
Wow, what a fun and busy day today. The children spent the first hour and a half at school and we managed to do reading. Then we got on the bus and went to the Caledonian. We did 5 activities before lunch and 5 activities after lunch. Here we are sitting in the grandstand relaxing and watching the relays before we caught the bus back to school.
The decision to close schools is made in consultation with the Police and Met Service judging the risk of not being able to provide staff for a full day. Decisions are made collectively for all Dunedin primary schools as soon as possible in the day. Please note that there will be no Georgies before school care on days when there is a 10.00am start. Parents are reminded of the following ways to check on possible school closure:
Our school website (www.georgestreet.school.nz) will have the most up-to-date information about possible school closure due to weather conditions.
Local radio stations such as Radio Dunedin 99.8FM or MORE FM 97.4FM will broadcast if schools are to open at 10.00am or remain closed for the day.
If all else fails, please call or text the school mobile number provided on our main school answerphone message (021 262 9919).
Please note that if the snowfall is light and roads are safe, school will be open as usual. If snow falls during a school day, children will not be sent home early. We will close at the usual time of 3pm. However, if parents or caregivers wish to collect their children before 3pm, that is quite acceptable. Please let the classroom teacher know before taking your child.
