Hi parents of 5R tweens!
At last we are contacting you!!! We thought we’d give everyone some time to settle into the school year, and not bombard you yet with even more information. But now we’re getting in touch!
We’re your room mums this year: Rachel Kaas, mum to Henrik, and Catharina Brenninkmeijer, mum to Amelia. We’re lucky enough for this to be our second experience in Mr Raskin’s class- both of our elder daughters were in his class a few years back, so its awesome to be back in his class!
We’ve noticed over the years that the older the kids, the less involvement there is from parents, and as a result less social interaction… We thought we’d try change this! Not to worry, we’re not planning weekly get-togethers! We’d just like to give everyone the opportunity to meet each other, see who the parents of their kids friends’ are, or make a new friend yourselves! So we are super curious to to meet as many of you as possible, so would love to invite to an Autumn breakfast at Catharina’s house (surprise surprise, not at the usual class coffee venue at Schönegg!!)
We thought to plan for next Monday morning, 8th October, straight after drop off… Address is Weinbergstrasse 43 in Kilchberg.
Please could you drop us a quick rsvp whether you can make it or not to the breakfast, so we can plan roughly! Thanks! Communication via the school portal is a bit tricky, so you are welcome to email us directly (Rachel:
Rachel.kaas@bluewin.ch or Catharina:
catharinabrenn@hotmail.com ) Also, if you’d be happy to join a Grade 5R whatsapp chat group, to make communicating quicker and easier, please send Rachel an email with your ok and your mobile number…
At the breakfast, we’ll give some further info on the winter party coming up in December, some graduation details for June, gift ideas etc etc…
Also, as per usual, the class collects a class fund, which is Chf 30 per family- this goes towards teacher gifts, class party needs etc… It is not compulsory to add to this class fund, but it is of course much appreciated as it goes towards the atmosphere of the class! 😉
Any questions, please shout!!
Looking forward to a FAB Grade 5 year!
Catharina & Rachel
