ESOL Support- Lots of Word Work and Talking
We have lots of children who are learning English as a second language. We have lots of support in place to help them.
Our Beautiful Year 1 Matariki Cloak
We Went To See The Science Boards In The Intermediate
You have lots to look forward to. These science boards will take over your life and house for at least 4 weeks when your children get up to the intermediates. They are all amazing and have so much work in them.
Ruby Red Shoes
I LOVE children’s books. Charlie and Lola are firm favourites. I love the Paddington Bear books (obviously). I also absolutely adore the Ruby Red Shoes series as well. This profile of the Ruby Red Shoes author popped up today on one of my favourite websites, The Grace Tales, (click on the link below). Highly recommend! Reading a range of children’s books is so important to develop vocabulary. In low decile schools they have a project called ‘the 100’ where they aim to expose children to 100 books being read to them in one year as without that exposure to language children find it hard to progress their literacy skills.
This Is What Teachers Look Like When They Know There Is A Holiday Coming
I hope you all get to enjoy some time away from the school routine too! No making lunches, no doing homework, no rushing to get here for our 8.50 start of school bell. This is my happy face with intermediate teacher Bridie Zarifeh. Miss Zarifeh was my student teacher 1 1/2 years ago and is now in her second year of teaching. She is amazing. Bridie coaches the intermediate netball team, although her first love is hockey, (and she is a really good hockey player too playing in a Auckland rep tournament).
Jump Jam And Koru Assembly
It was girl power in our junior school Koru assembly today.
LOVE This New Song

Georgia and I were driving home from netball on Saturday and heard this amazing song with some gorgeous lyrics. We are going to play it lots in Room 5 and see if we can learn the words.
