Discovery Time

Every Wednesday Rooms 8 and 12 get together in the morning to have discovery time. We do this from 9.15 am to 10.40 am and parents are more than welcome to come along and join in - and will very probably be given a group to work with :-) It is a wonderful opportunity for children of different ages to get together and to help each other with their learning and it is lovely to see the older children showing great patience as they help the younger children master new skills. We will be running a variety of different activities in order to help our children learn new skills and also work on key competencies such as perseverance, working together etc

Last days of Term 4 2014....

Kia ora koutou! I have been a bit quiet on the blog front as Mrs Houston and I have been working hard on end of year testing and reports.
On Friday Rooms 8 and 10 will be going down to Haruatai Pool for a swim about 10am, afterwards we will go to the park for a picnic and a play. You are welcome to join us!
Reports will be posted on Friday also. Some children will be moving through to Room 10 in 2015, this will be shared with you with the reports.
On Monday is the end of year concert for Rooms 8 and 10.
We ask that all tamariki are at school before the 6pm start - thank you! Mrs Pansters has been working very hard with the students - it will be a wonderful evening.
This is a lovely opportunity to see your children shine - we look forward to seeing you and your families there!
The last day of Term 4 2014 is Wednesday 17th December, school will finish at 2pm.

If I don't get to see you before the end of term - I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and holidays! Enjoy your time together as whanau and I look forward to seeing you all again in 2015!
