Many thanks to you all for your support during the year. It has been wonderful that your children have been able to begin bringing their Chromebooks home with your support. Your children can continue reading and writing over these long holidays through the Summer Learning Journey blogging programme. I look forward to reading any posts that they publish. If you were unable to make it to prize-giving on Thursday, here are some clips from the day: As you know, I am moving to Point England next year but will be able to keep in touch with your children's learning through their blogs. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a safe and relaxing holiday! Ka kite ano! Mrs Buchanan
It is nearly time for the summer holidays - and your children can carry on reading and learning over the summer by getting involved in the Summer Learning Journey! You are invited to come to Room 10 to find out all about it - at the same time as your children - from Rachel Williams, the lady who runs this holiday blogging programme. When: Thursday, 1st December, at 11:15 am
Where: Room 10 @ Ruapotaka Morning tea will be provided.
Rachel Williams from the University of Auckland is running an online holiday blogging programme for learners in the Manaiakalani area from Saturday 9th July until Sunday 24th July. There are daily activities about the Olympic Games. Rachel has talked to your child's class at school so they know where to go and what to do on her website if they want to get involved. If your child blogs after completing an activity, they can earn points. Prizes will be awarded in Term 3 for the most active bloggers! Although your child will not have their Chromebook at home during the holidays, they can join in the blogging activities on the computers at the library or on a tablet or smart phone at home.
