Math fun with Whaea Dianne.

Swim Safe with Whaea Nikki.

Today we had our first swim safe lesson with Whaea Nikki from Swim Safe.

We learnt how to stay safe in the water, about survival, and life guard signals.

We look forward to learning more.

Encouraging word from our whānau

SCHOOL'S OUT!!!!

There has been a lot of flooding over night which means school had to close today.

Buses could not make it to pick up points, teachers couldn't get to school.

Here is a photo of Johnsons Park in Kawakawa town ship.

Were you or your school affected by the rain? Share you photos in the comments.

SWIMMING

Thank you for getting the pool ready for us Mrs. Henare & Ms Ross.
We love cooling off and are looking forward to learning more swimming techniques.

MOE MAI RĀ MRS LEMON

Today we paid our final respects to Mrs Lemon.
We will all miss you Mrs Lemon, your memory will live on in our school.
Moe mai rā i roto i ngā ringa aroha o tō tātou matua i te rangi.

Arohanui,
Ngā tamariki o te akomanga Ngā Rau Puawai.

CHIEF LITTLE PINE SCHOOL

Our school has had the privilege of hosting whānau from Chief Little Pine School, in Saskatchewan Canada. Today we had a school wide poroporoaki for them as their stay has come to an end.

They are AMAZING people and we look forward to building a strong relationship with them.

VISITORS FROM AFAR.

We have been studying the First Nation people, the Cree Nation of Saskatchewan in particular.
It has been interesting learning about the similarities between our two cultures and we are very excited to host Chief Little Pine School students here in our marae.

TREATY TALK

We have been having "Treaty Talk" in our class. We explored what a treaty is, why people have them, the pro's and the con's etc.
We now know that a treaty is: AN AGREEMENT OF PROMISES.
Here we are working alongside Ngā Rau Rangatira and discussing our whakaaro.
