I hope you have had a great weekend!!  The weather has been beautiful. On Saturday I  spent the day learning how to say Te Reo and  pronounce  kupu  with more confidence and learning how to write my pepeha . It was a lot of fun and I feel  what I learnt can be transferred to the classroom with ease. 

Week 5 is just around the corner. All of the Teina roopu have been involved  learning a song and actions to the six 60  waiata "pepeha" Please ask your  tamariki if they can show you the actions so far that we have learnt.

We are very honored to have Bo-Deene Stephens from "Hush" studio choreographer our  dance moves!!

Room 14 had fun with Michaela from sport northland this week.  They learnt how to correctly exit a boat, how to put on a life jacket and how to feel safer in the water by gliding across the pool. The tamariki learnt how to use a pool noodle to assist  as a floating device.

                                                      Aubrie is showing how to be a starfish.

                                                      Hemi was showing us his Hoola hoop skills

                                                      Silas and  Cadel have show a HUGE improvement in their attitude to                                                        learning.  I am very impressed how both boys are now becoming                                                                more focused learners!!

                                                     Waiaroha was super excited  as she spun the wheel on Friday and                                                               picked out a pink unicorn as her prize.  Keep on getting lots of Blue                                                           Mana cards.

 

                                                     Cadel was keen to show me his pierced ear on Friday. I asked him if it                                                       hurt and he said "no". We must grow them tough in Kaikohekohe!!

I hope you all have a great week!!     Please check your tamariki's book bags for readers, sight words to be learnt and important notices.  Please get in touch if anything arises.

How are you all??  I have been away from school for the last few days. I was pleased to see how many  tamariki got behind Manga's fundraiser on Friday at school.

 I heard the cake stall was a success!!

On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next week we have Swim safe from Sport Northland  coming  in to demonstrate how to be safe in the water.  Could all tamariki please bring in their togs and towel  on these 3 days.

Please  look out for a class newsletter in their bag tomorrow. I will add the class newsletter to the blog next week.

On Friday the Teina roopu had a fabulous whanaungatanga  fun day at school. In the morning all classes were involved  creating craft activities around our term one  Kaupapa focus Ko  au  the Sea and environment.

Tamariki  made origami birds, fish weaving, bug masks and a butterfly puppet. After morning tea  we had a sports rotation down at Tawaranui.  It was so awesome to see and hear tamariki laughing, participating, turn taking and                                                                                  communicating.

                                            Silas, Kingston and Cruize were  were spending some quiet time playing a                                                 game of cards.

                                                

                                                      Waiaroha and Aubrie were having a Kani Kani-dance

                                                      Room 14 ready for the fun to begin...

-                                           Room 14  had fun throwing bean bag in hoops

Next week we are having some Tamariki moving from room 16 to room 14!!  I will keep you updated on how they are transitioning to their new classroom.

Please look out in their school bags next week  for  room 14's term 1 newsletter.

I would like to warmly welcome all my tamariki and whanau to Ruma Tekau ma Wha- room 14. It was great to see so many tamariki at school last Tuesday. 

We are going to spend the next 3 weeks getting to know each other and set up  our class treaty, routines and learning and behaviour expectations.

I captured a fabulous photo of  my class on the first day of school.

Room 14- 2022

                                            Tarryn and Aubrie received  a class certificate on Friday for showing a                                                      great  attitude to learning and  for always trying their best!

On Friday we are having a  Teina fun day. Could you please  remember to include their togs and towel in their bags.

I hope everyone had a great Waitangi day. Looking forward to see you all on Tuesday.

Take Care
