We would like to say a huge welcome to our newest additions to the Foundation Class, and their wonderful families. We have had a lovely first week together and look forward to getting to know you all much better and growing and learning alongside you.
On our last day of term three we farewelled five of our very special friends, as they moved off to begin a new journey in year 0 with the lovely Mrs Burson.
Harriet, Ella, Victoria, Priya and Alice, it has brought us so much joy working and learning alongside you all and we will miss you very much. We look forward to you coming to visit us and hearing all about your school days.
Kia hora te marino, kia whakapapa pounamu te moana, kia tere karohirohi i mua i tou huarahi.
May calm be spread around you, may the sea glisten like greenstone and the shimmer of summer dance across your path.
On Monday we welcomed seven new girls and their families to the Foundation Class. We began with a meeting time where we each greeted one another in different languages. Following on from this the girls introduced their families to us all. Everyone was so brave! We also shared in some delicious cupcakes.
Here are some images from the morning:
We are so excited to have had some new friends join us, and we look forward to sharing the many wonderful experiences and encounters that we have with you all, here on our blog.
We recently said goodbye to four of our very special friends; Elena, Charlotte, Demira and Alison as they moved on to their year 0 classroom with Mrs Burson. We shared in a beautiful ceremony where we sang together, shared stories and presented each of the girls with a red rose to symbolize love. When the girls first began in the Foundation Class they were presented with a yellow rose, symbolic of friendship.
It has been a pleasure to work and learn alongside these four girls and their families and we wish them all the very best for their future.
