Term 1 is well underway, and I'm thrilled to be here! It's been a joy getting to know the children, families, and staff. The energy in our school is vibrant, with smiling faces all around. We firmly believe that happy children are more receptive to learning, and it's evident in our classrooms.
A quick reminder: we'll be closed for instruction on Friday, 8 March, as we spend the day engaging in collaborative learning as a Kāhui Ako.
Thank you for your continued support in ensuring your children arrive at school on time, well-rested, and eager to learn. Our teachers have been diligently working together to enhance our approach to teaching literacy, numeracy, and inquiry-based learning. We're staying updated on the 'hour a day' guideline for reading, writing, and maths while also emphasising the importance of authentic learning experiences. Whenever possible, we integrate these subjects into real-life contexts and other areas of the curriculum, providing a rich and balanced learning experience.
Exciting news: our pump track is nearing completion! Although it will temporarily be closed for approximately three weeks, we can't wait to see the enjoyment it brings to our students.
Wishing everyone a fantastic week ahead!
