It was a lovely but sad night as I had my last transitioning children to school cluster meeting. Alison is our group Principal leader, I am the new entrant primary leader and Gaylene is the early childhood (kindy) leader for central Auckland schools. As you know I am passionate about ensuring children have the best start to school possible. I truly believe that setting children up positively for school sets a foundation for learning that carries on. This area of education is also about supporting parents into the schooling system. It can be a big scary new world at first and my hope is teachers in this level of the schooling system support and nurture families. New chapters ahead for the group and I am very thankful for the opportunity to share my views on a very important area of education.
Kohia Terrace School. Year 1. The life of 5 year olds. We want to invite parents and family into our classroom. Come and watch our adventures and learn about what we are learning. So when the children come home and you ask, "What did you do today?", the children will never be able to say, "nothing" ever again…our days are busy and learning constant. We love sharing our special first year of school life with you.
