Well we have nearly made it. Only 2 weeks to go and we finish school for 2020. It has certainly been a very different year. I'm sure we  are all happy to see this year come to an end.

Che'la, Aalacaey and Kowhai were super proud to  receive their certificates this week.

Che'la received her certificate for always displaying a happy personality.

Aalacaey for making huge progress in math  while completing his Jam math test.

Kowhai for showing progress while learning the letter names and sounds of the alphabet.

Next Week we  are having an exciting week at school. On Monday we are having a FUN DAY and on Wednesday we are off to sing some waiata to the Kaumata and Kuia at Kaikohe Aged Care Centre. Please remember to bring your permission slip back to school ASAP!!

Have a fabulous weekend.

Certificates and swimming

Kia Ora Whanau,

On Friday room 16 went swimming for the first time!! All the tamariki were so confident and  got into the water safely. Everyone listened  to all the instructions and put their head under the water. 

Silas forgot his togs so he dipped his toes into the water!!  Swimming days are Wednesday and Friday.

Kingston and Sean received  certificates this week for making happy pleasing progress in reading and for showing positive attitudes towards their learning.

Please remember to  return your permission  slips ASAP for our trip to the  Kaikohe Retirement Village on Wednesday 2nd December 2020. 

Have a fabulous weekend.

The weather is getting warmer so I'm hoping by the end of next week we can start swimming. Our swimming days are Wednesday and Friday afternoons from 2-3pm.

Can you please double check  their swimming bag  they have appropriate swimming togs, towel, Swimming Cap all in a named bag please!!  Thank you so much this  will make it all so much easier to organize.

This week we were learning about the letter Bb. Jayziah and  Tookie made the letter B  from green playdough. Both boys were engaged and had lots of fun.

Whaea Raewyn from Room 12 wanted everyone to take a class photo for the year book. On Thursday this week we had 19 out of 22 Tamariki at school only Aalacaey, Norton and Zydin were absent.

A MASSIVE congratulations to  Waimirirangi, Cruize, Jayziah, Tookie, Silas and Luchiano. These tamariki came to School every day this week and were on time. Keep up the great attendance.

Room 16 is so lucky to have Nanny Rachel come and support the tamariki with learning their alphabet , basic sight words and being read to every day. I so appreciate her support every day. The Tamariki LOVE having Nanny Rachel helping us become more responsible for our learning!!

Have a terrific weekend.

100% Attendance for room 16 tamariki

 Sunday 8th November 2020               

Kia Ora Whanau/Caregivers,

Well I am super proud of all the tamariki that come to school every day in room 16 and especially if they turn up on time ready to learn.

From the beginning of week 3 we are now acknowledging  all the tamariki that come to school  every day and especially those that come to school on time. For their reward they get a delicious cold ice block on Monday lunchtime!

This week we had   Aalacaey, Reign, Jayden,Norton and Cruize come to school every day. Thank you whanau for making sure tamariki are turning up on time with their lunch, book bag and a good learning attitude!!  Well done to these 5 special tamariki.

I wonder how many more tamariki will be having 100% attendance this week??

Swimming will be starting  next week once the water warms up. I will send a note home to whanau later in the week. We will be swimming on Wednesday and Friday from 2.00-3.00pm.

Tamariki will need a swimming bag, towel,  swimming togs and a swimming cap.

Have a fabulous  week.
