We've launched into Term 3.

One of our Karawha highlights from the end of last term was our 3 Way Conference and Goal Setting evenings. The Karawha Teachers would like to thank all the Tamariki and their Whanau for taking the time to come and celebrate our learning and helping us set our ‘next step goals’ for Term 3 and 4. If you were unable to make it last term, please fell free to contact your child’s classroom teacher to book in a time to have a catch up.

Looking ahead to this term we have some exciting learning planned including our Healthy Heroes programme sponsored by Rotary, the Cultural Diversity Inquiry study which we launched into this week, our Fabric and Fibre Visual Arts involving weaving and sewing, and our continued quest to keep fit and agile with our daily Fitness and weekly Kiwisport programmes. Once a week each Karawha Class will be studying ‘Dances from around the World’ with Deborah Ogilvie and Kapa Haka with Matua Anton. Back in our regular classrooms the Karawha Team will continue to strengthen and grow our Learning Brains by building on the social and academic skills established during Term 1 and 2. It’s only a nine week term, so come Monday the Karawha Teachers were keen to get started and see the tamariki again after their term break. On reflection at the end of the day, we all agreed the tamariki had been eager to get back into their routines and it had been a really positive happy start to Term 3.   

The following are samples of our mini Reading Research Studies presented as pic collage posters completed by Room 6 and 7 students.
