Term 3 Week 1

We have had a great week in our new room. It has been fun getting to know everyone. We are helping each other get used to a new routine. Thank you, parents, for your patience and support as we settle in.


Our 'Star of the Week' is Hannah. Hannah has worked quietly to complete her work. She has also been a great role model showing us how to behave in Room 13. Thank you, Hannah, it's great to have you in our room.

Today we published our stories and they are now displayed on the wall. Please come in and look at our wonderful illustrations.

We also enjoyed our first session of Jump Jam.


Our topic for this term is Te Marae. We will be learning about marae protocol, learning some Maori language and waiata, doing some Maori art, and presenting our mihi. As we complete work you will be able to view it either in the classroom or on the blog. The mihi we will learn is quite short - the children need to know their father's name, their mother's name and the city or town where they were born. Please write these details on a piece of paper for your child to bring to school.

This week two children celebrated their birthdays - Nico and Jason both turned 6 on the first day back. We trust they have an exciting year being 6.

Housekeeping matters:
Library day is Monday. Please bring library books back on Monday morning so new ones can be issued.
Please return portfolios next week
Remember to book your interviews via the website - see the school newsletter for details.

Have a great weekend. I look forward to seeing you all back at school on Monday.
