And that's a wrap!

Tena Koutou Room 5 families,

It's time to give yourselves a big pat on the back for the tremendous effort we have all put into ensuring a successful first term at Maungaraki School!

Time has flown by and I am sure you will have all noticed the growth made by all of the Room 5 children. When I think back just 11 short weeks ago, we were all new to Room 5, reliant on our parents and our teacher; and eager to settle into our learning. THEN when I fast forward 11 weeks I am blown away by everyones progress!

1. Children are more independent in their learning, friendships and self management.

2. Children are taking responsibility for our classroom at all times of the day, putting down chairs in the morning, ensuring resources are put away properly, keeping our room clean and helping friends to pack up for home time. Congratulations wonderful people!

3. Room 5 children have developed large circles of friends.

4. Presentation of work has risen to a good standard!

5. Children are using thinking tools in their oral language and written language. They are beginning to write some well thought out stories!

6. Children are trying extra hard with their reading and Mathematics which is making for a very proud teacher!

Well done everyone for all your hard work this term! I can only imagine the wonderful things we will have accomplished by the end of Term 2!



Thank you everyone for the very special Enviro Schools assembly on Monday.

Also, a huge thank you for the wonderful ANZAC memorial service this morning. What a special day to celebrate. Ka pai.

I wish you all a safe and happy holiday. I look forward to seeing you all when you arrive back at school in two weeks!

Miss Jackson
