Sign Language

Letter Writing

In Tāwhirimātea we started a letter writing programme the other day. The children write letters to an anonymous person (selected by the teachers) and then that person responds to their letter within a week. Then the children read the letter from their anonymous person and then they write back again. This goes on for the rest of Term 2 and then at the end the children get to find out who their pen pal or letter writing buddy was. This is done within the school and is going to help improve the children  writing!

We are all very excited about sending and receiving letters. Check out the pictures below of us writing....

Cross Country

We had a great time down at the beach this morning! Everyone gave it a go, encouraged others and had fun playing at Thompson Park after the races. Thanks to everyone that came down to support we really appreciate it.

Happy Mothers Day

I hope you enjoyed your card as much as the children did making them. We want to wish you all a belated Mothers Day and we hope you had a great day on Sunday.
