Wonderful Whaea Ngaire and her experts taught us a new song the reflects our class treaty and values. Patuki tahi is all about our heart and how it beats as one.

First Visit to the Library

Its such a lovely time at the library.  We all managed to find plenty of books to enjoy at the Library.  For quite a lot of us it was the first time we have been able to look through the chapter books or full selection of non-fiction titles. Don't forget to bring your book back to change it on Thursday!

James shares a trick.

James confidently shared a trick with us that he had learnt about on You tube.  He brought all of the equipment to school and showed us how M & Ms can make a rainbow!  How lovely to share your curious and inquiring mind with us all.

Collaborative Art

 What does it mean to collaborate?  What is your painting all about.  Explain why you chose the symbols and images that you did.

Best Day of my Life!

We love this song, the dog is so happy now that he is going to be adopted.  Do you know all the words to the song?

Can you see ...?

Who can you see in the photos?  Can you remember the names of the people in your class?  Share your fabulous memory with your friends and whanau.

Oh the places we'll go in 2017!

What a wonderful start to our new year together.  Mrs Eagleson and Mrs OConnor enjoyed a fabulous boat trip on the Tauranga Harbour learning about the local area and legends.  We can't wait to go to all sorts of different places with our new classes.

IMPORTANT MESSAGES ABOUT WHY WE NEED TO BE BETTER AT THE DISPOSING OF OUR RUBBISH

An Important Message

We in Maatai have decided that there is too much waste and rubbish in our school. To do something about reducing this, we have sent out a challenge for EVERYBODY to have a LITTERLESS LUNCH at school. Here are some photos of what these lunches might look like.

 

 

It was a pleasure meeting with many of the parents, whanau and caregivers of our class over the last two evenings. Mrs Duggan looks forward to meeting with more of you over the next couple of evenings.
We are proud of the efforts that the children have made over the last term. It was great to share their successes and we especially appreciate the way many of you have committed to further supporting your children's learning at home.

We look forward to term two.

Mr Taane and Mrs Duggan.
