Well we made it to FRIDAY week 10. I was  super proud of all the Teina  Tamariki that performed on stage on Wednesday for our whanau and Thursday to be filmed "Live" on Facebook.

All of room 16 tried their very best, smiled and put  120%  effort into their stage performances!! Kapa Haka  will never  shine like this one did!!

Revere started school on Thursday. She was so confident. Revere was given awhi from her big brother Jayden!!

Che'la and Jayziah received  their class certificates on Thursday. Both tamariki have tried very hard to be focused on their mahi and are learning to be helpful to their friends in room 16! Keep up the great learning attitudes.

Tari-Ape, Sean and Cruize received their FREE  duffy books this week after they got their 10 Mana  card Aroha ticks.

Aalacaey and Drea had so much fun today. Both boys worked so well together and  complete a train alphabet. It was fantastic to see  both Akonga supporting each other and gaining alphabet knowledge  through a relaxing and stimulating conversation!

I hope everyone has a superb two week holiday  because I know we all deserve it.

The first day of the new term is Monday 12th October 2020.

I can't believe how quickly this term is flying. We only have 3 weeks left of term 3!!

Spring is finally here, its great to see lots of little spring lambs frolicking  in the sun and yellow daffodils blooming in the lush green paddocks.

Room 16 are making huge progress  as we practice every day for our Kaikohe West Cultural  Festival. It is planned for Thursday 24th September.

We have only 3 more weeks till performance day and all the effort and hard work of the tamariki to learn the words and actions to their waiata is showing. They have done a tremendous job and we are all very proud of them.
