Kia ora koutou Great to see so many of our whānau at learning conferences this afternoon and evening. Looking forward to seeing many more of you apōpō. It’s exciting to end the term celebrating learning. Have a great term break and we will look forward to launching into term 2 on Monday April 29 at 8.30am!

Room 1 have learnt the legend of the 3 whales. As part of their learning they created their own model 3 whales. Tino pai to mahi!

Kia Ora e te whānau. We talked about pride at this morning’s Monday message. Kids on the ridge and proud to be—tamariki o te tau-e whakahihi! We celebrated some proud winners of soaring high bookmarks and warmed up our brains for the last week of term with some round singing. There’ll be lots of proud tamariki sharing their learning at conferences on Thursday and Friday. Please make sure to book your spot if you haven’t already. Give Sharon in the office a call if you’re having trouble with booking system. A reminder that our class teachers will be busy with individual conferences on Friday so if you are unable to keep your tamariki with you, also let Sharon know so she can book them into the alternative programme at school.

Thanks for a great last celebration hui of the term team Kōtuku. Ngā mihi nui to all our soaring high award winners. A reminder that next Thursday afternoon and during the school day on Friday we are holding our learner conferences. Be sure to book one in if you haven’t already. There’s so much learning to celebrate! Have a great weekend everyone.

Kia ora whānau, Next week we end the term with our learner conferences. This is a wonderful opportunity to share learning this term and plan goals for next. Thank you to all who have made bookings👍. Please use the information below to book your celebration if you have not yet done so. We do ask that you keep your children home on the Friday if at all possible (but they do come for their 15 minute conference). There will be a limited alternative programme available at school for whānau who can’t make other arrangements. Please let our lovely office ladies know if you will need to use this service. Kia ora koutou.
