Week 1

A big welcome back and a very special welcome to lovely Alyssa Hemopo a new girl in our class from Auckland. Also you will have received the school and Year 1 notices by now and realise we are having (weather permitting ) our Junior Athletics day on Friday morning. This is a fun morning with the year 2's and as we use the "Houses" for teams, please help your child choose something to wear that matches their house colour.
Next Tuesday is also our Tihi Reserve walk in the morning slot. In anticipation of this we have already begun our study around animal groups in The Living World Strand.This will lead into aspects of lifecycles , sustainability of species, environments and our contribution as "people" to these issues.
By the enthusiasm already I think we have some budding David Attenborough's in the making.

A reminder we will all need sunhats by next week and any new clothing please can you name these or use my pens at school to do so.Should any of your child's clothing go missing, just check our clothes basket first. If left outside I put them in there.

Well here is to a happy and exciting term and the attached photo shows we are on the way.....

Yes we do have fun at school even Bernie!

Room 9 with Bernie and Humpty ! Aren't  they a good looking bunch?
