Proud tamariki in room 14!!

Term 1, Week  9

Kia Ora Whanau.

Well it's only 2 weeks until term 1 has finished!!  I can't believe this term has flown so quickly.

I am so lucky to have such an awesome class of motivated learners. Hone has moved to level 4 in his reading. Hayes has moved to level 9!  Rahiri and Carlos are sounding more confident as they decode tricky words.

I  want to acknowledge Nanny Rachel who comes in and reads with  Carter-Jay, Rahiri and Carlos Monday to Thursday. Nanny Rachel is so dedicated to the tamariki at Kaikohe West School and to the success and achievement of  everyone!

A few weeks ago we had Getwise ASB  come  to speak to room 14. He told us to spend some, save some and share some too.

Hayes got his name picked out of the white card box. He was lucky to get the chance to spin the wheel. He picked out a match box car. Hayes even won 200 points for TUNA. Carlos, Kip and Hone  got their names picked out of the yellow card box because they were at school every day this week and  they stayed off traffic light as well. Congratulations boys for your great attendance!!

I have had a great week with room 14. Thank you to Mrs Neale for relieving on Tuesday when I was at home sick.

I hope you have a great weekend.

Caring Room 14 Tamariki

Term 1, Week 8

Kia Ora Whanau,

I am very proud how room 14  has stepped up  to the challenge this week  by showing how they care for  the community of Christchurch!!

We made amazing cards of support for the tamariki who experienced the lock down at Linwood Avenue School . On Friday  the whole school were silent for 2 minutes at 1.32 in memory of everyone who  lost their lives in  the Christchurch  shooting on Friday 15th March.

Rahiri received the SUPER star of the day on Wednesday. He has had a stunning week of learning. I am so proud of the amazing focused learner he is becoming!!

Have a great weekend with your whanau.

Sad Children!

Term 1, Week 8

Kia Ora Whanau

This week was a very sad week for room 14.

After the tragedy in Christchurch, room 14 wanted to show Linwood Avenue School our support of encouragement.

All the children brainstormed  lots of supportive phrases we could use.

We all wrote letters and words of support for the victims in Christchurch.

KIA KAHA Christchurch. We are all thinking about you!!

Our letters were posted of on Thursday.

Have a great week Whanau







Have a great week. Please don't forget the 2 minutes of silence today at 1.40 in  memory of the Christchurch tragedy.

Thank you room 14

Term 1, week 7, 2019

Kia Ora Whanau/ Caregivers

My post this week is to acknowledge my awesome whanau who went above and beyond the call of duty  while we had our school noho last week.

Javier's Mum and Dad were amazing. Both of them worked the entire Noho with our tamariki. Emily and Jevahn both cooked and cleaned, played games with the tamariki and encouraged and supported them to be the best that they could be during camp.

Kip's mum Maree, was always on hand to support myself or Whaea Nicki with any last minute job to do. Maree  was always helping out any way she could. I feel very honoured to have such wonderful parents supporting myself and their tamariki to succeed and never give up!!

Matua Gus stayed over in room 16 for two nights. He is also very willing and  happy to lend a hand to anything that benefits the tamariki of Kaikohe west School.

So THANKYOU once again from myself and the children from Room14!!

Amazing Tamariki in room 14

Permission slips are required to be  in by Monday please.

Hayes wrote a stunning letter to his Mum and Dad.

Douglas cares for his Mum such alot.

This week, Carlos and Hone got  their names picked out of the yellow caught being good box. I was so proud of them both!!! Javier received a certificate for showing more  focus and attention to his learning. We also welcomed Carter-Jay to room 14!!
