Welcome to Week 3 Term 2

Good Evening Room 15 Whānau,  We have had some wonderful learning taking place over the last few weeks. Our concept for this term is Health and Wellbeing and our children took part in some wonderful ignition activities, learning alongside different teachers and seeing the importance of eating healthily, exercising, how important parts of our bodies need to be looked after and the ability to self regulate through mindfulness. These will hopefully spark some interest and passion for our children. It is important to discuss this at home with your child too. Tomorrow morning at 9am Rm 15 kids will be attending the morning Parish Mass.  All parents are invited. This will then be followed by a shared morning tea in the church hall.  We would like to ask that our students can bring in something light to share for this. If you are able to help with serving tea and coffee, that would be much appreciated too. If you haven't filled out the transportation form for the Cross Country day please

If you were unable to make it in please touch base and we can make another meeting time.  Thank you to our children who dressed up for 'Children’s World of Prayer' day. It is always nice to see children wearing their national costumes with pride. The mini-marathon on Friday was a great day out. It's nice to see our whanau support, running, and cheering on our tamariki thank you.
