Kia Ora tatou – Greetings to you all
|
|
|
Alll of our Middle Years students have had the opportunity to present their year's Portfolio of work to their future teachers. The feedback from the teachers has been great. Most of our students are now able to confidently articulate their strengths, what they value as learners, and what they perceive as challenges along the way. This is incredibly valuable information to pass on to the teachers who will potentially be teaching them next year.
Students are also given the opportunity to celebrate their best work and the highlights of their learning over the year. When students engage in self-evaluation, they develop a more positive outlook towards their learning.
Students gather their portfolios of work over each year and are able to reflect on their own progress over time. As we get to know each one of our learners as individuals, we are better able to create individual programs to meet the needs of each one of our students.
Please ask your child to share their portfolios with you and talk about how their presentation went.
He waka eke noa - we are all in this together

The children in room 19 created some beautiful artwork this week. Cotton bud painting is a fantastic way to help children develop their pincer grip which is the grip they require to hold a pen for writing. It is also a fun way to make some really beautiful artwork.

WE DID IT! We (most of us) have finished our change project. Our timelines look fabulous and we can really see the “change” we have made as little people. The discussions and excitement we had during this time was so amazing!
Now...to find a space in our class to present them.

Free Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccine
These last two years have highlighted the need to ensure our whānau and communities are safe from infectious diseases. Measles is about 8 times more contagious than COVID-19, and last year’s outbreak is a reminder of just how quickly it can spread among unimmunised people. While we can’t vaccinate against COVID-19 yet, we can protect against other infectious diseases like measles by being immunised.
Teenagers and young adults aged 15-30 are at greater risk of catching and spreading measles, as they are less likely to have been immunised as children.
You can read the full fact sheet here.
