Photo Catch Up:
Room 33 children made "I Wish" posters of what they wished for the world.
They are beautiful wishes indeed.
We were sad to farewell our lovely visitors from 'I Wish' school in China.
Our children love playing in our big sandpit.
Elizur took on the 'full immersion' experience recently/.
Our Glee children - all 94 of them - were recently presented with their commemorative T-Shirts and badges. They were all very proud - as are we of course.
We are blessed to have such a dedicated and talented team of Junior School teachers, as well as all our staff. The Education Review Office has compiled a nationwide report on Oral Language programmes in New Zealand Junior classrooms. Reviewers from Wellington spent time with us, and our school and practices feature prominently in their report detailing best practices. Team Leader Annette Pram is a local treasure and is fast becoming recognised as a national treasure. She deserves huge credit for her work with teachers around the country on Oral Language, a Structured Approach to Play Based Learning, Talk to Write and more.
Sausage Sizzlers:
Thank you to Hellabys for their generous donation of free sausages for our Sausage Sizzle fundraiser. Thank you also to our parent and staff helpers who work willingly and wisely to make sure it all goes like clockwork.
We love that our little ones have bright and vivid imaginations and enjoy dressing up as heroes or Superheroes.
