Support Staff day

Term 2, Week 3

Kia Ora Whanau

How are you all this week??

On Thursday was Support staff day!!  We really appreciate  all the teacher aide's and support staff in the office and   helping keep the school grounds clean and tidy!!  Thank you Whaea Linzi and Nanny Rachel for working in Room 14. Where would we be with out you two??

Room 14 made all the support staff an amazing thank you card for everything they do for us!! The tamariki  wrote some very thoughtful comments on their card.

Room 14 looking pleased with themselves!! I hope you like the look of their card.

Trey and Hone received class certificates this week for  showing an increased motivation to learn and becoming amazing fluent readers. I am so proud of both boys!!- Hone left before I had time to get a photo of his certificate!!

On Wednesday 29th March the PPTA and NZEI teacher unions are working together to show solidarity as one and strike. Over 5000 teachers will be striking on the day. I hope you can support us.

Have a great week
From Mrs Birchall and Room 14

Kia ora Whanau,

How is everyone feeling  being back at school??  It's week 2 already and room 14 seems happy and settled and have jumped back into routine happily

This term we are  going to continue looking at wheels and seasons. During the month of June I am in the process of planning a farm trip to Ohaeawai . I want the children to experience a real life dairy farm, we will be looking at what happens in Autumn on a farm.

This will be so exciting- more details to come..  I will be looking for parent help as well .

Captured below are some photos in action during the first two weeks of the term
