Mānawatia a Matariki Ka mahuta a Matariki i te pae, ka mahuta o tatou tumanako ki te tau When Matariki rises above the horizon, our aspirations rise to the year ahead Our Thursday Food Fiesta was amazing - whakamīharo! A massive shout out to Dani for another legendary effort baking 500 star cookies and to our whānau who were able to come in to help us out - Krystal, Karmaia, Cherie, Corrina, Irina & Leanne - legends:) Ngā mihi tō mahi koutou.

Matariki is a time for new beginnings! We were excited to welcome these new little shining stars to room 19 this morning. Nau mai haere mai koutou!

What a great day in the bush for room 10 today! Room 10 Survival mode: activated! From building emergency shelters and learning to light fires with flint and steel, to making hot chocolate on hex stoves, reading maps, mastering river crossings and more — our bush adventure was packed with action, learning, and loads of muddy fun. Thriving, not just surviving!

Matariki kite construction in room 6. A reminder to join us for open classrooms from 1 tomorrow and a special assembly at 1.30:)

This morning we had a trial fire drill. All went well with tamariki quickly and safely making their way to our evacuation space on the field. Tino pai to mahi!

Last chance for our Matariki flavoured 'Thursday' food fiesta - orders will close at 3pm today.
