Tēnā koutou e te whānau,

We have nearly seen the end of the 2017 school year! The year 6′s are busy finishing off their korowai ready for their graduation on Thursday evening.

The tamariki are busy creating some Christmas crafts and helping to tidy the akomanga ready for our move. Rumaki will be moving back to the classroom that the teina were in at the beginning of the year. They will also have a lucky new kaiako (which is yet to be confirmed) as Miriama and Andrea will be moving on. We have both enjoyed our time with all of the tamariki and wish them well with their schooling and look forward to watching them grow.

Kia koutou ngā tamariki, ngā taiohi, e mihi kau atu ana, kia whaia ki tō ake haepapatanga o te matauranga.

kia tau te rangimarie kia koutou.

Kia ora e te whanau. Ruma kotuku joined in with the triathlon on Monday, all students tried their best and it looked like they had a lot of fun! This marked the beginning of swimming for our school. We will be swimming everyday, tamariki need to bring a note from home if they are not going to be joining in. We will be teaching all students swimming skills and water safety so this is a very important part of our school curriculum.

Ruma kotuku led the school assembly today. Tamariki demonstrated how the play is the way life rafts are said in te reo Maori. We had a lot of children away today and the children on stage did a great job at presenting to the rest of the school and whanau.

Tena koutou te whanau,

Nga mihi o te wa ki nga maatua, kaumatua nga whanau katoa o te whanau rumaki whanau whanui hoki.

This term is going really quickly before we know it its gonna be Xmas… Rumaki is getting stuck in to it and getting lots done before the end of the term. Inatahi wiki… the tamariki did some awesome mahi with Wearble Art, ataahua o ratou taonga i hanga, nga mihi nui ki aua tamariki.

He mihi hoki ki te roopu Kapa Haka o Hokitika i awhina i Te Kura Tuarua o Hokitika, na te whakangahau ki te Hapori.

Hei korero whakamutunga ko te Uara o tenei wiki “Mehemea kaore koe i te mohio ki te take o te mahi kaua e mahia pea kei te hee, whakaaro i te tuatahi mo nga mahi ka mahia e koe.

Tena koutou te whanau,
