=News=

Fletcher achieved Mr. Williams Powerful Learner award for taking risks in his learning. He is coming into class on his own and preparing himself for the day. He has also been a terrific Super Star calling the class attendance roll in the morning.

We are currently experiencing some problems with access to our Wikispaces in the classroom so please bear with me if some entries are taking a long time.

Look out for notice outlining access to Room 12'a Wikispace and Studyladder.

We all enjoy working with clay, hopefully there will be a finished item to show at Calf Club time.

Deep Understanding topic for term 3 is 'Change'. The children came up with these ideas when asked what 'change' meant to them.

Week 1 Term 3 Welcome back everyone. There will be quite a few changes over the coming week as Room 12 has farewelled several children to new classes and this week has said 'hello' to six new ones. Once I receive their security clearance they will be added.

=Super Star for the week= This involves completing the weather chart, calling the attendance, running messages etc. Week 9 - Jasmine Week 8 - Natasha Week 7 - Eva Week 6 - Fletcher Week 5 - Jak again due to sickness Week 4 - Jak Week 3 - Alex Week 2 - Oliver Week 1 - Tayla
 * Term 3**

13 June 2012 Kowhai want to thank Joshua and Cade for their fantastic running of the Tug-o-War games today. They certainly completed their 'Inclusion' project fully.

11 June 2012 Look at the children using their new phonic phones to help with reading.

26 May 2012 SORRY, was hoping to update the studyladder this weekend but my school laptop has died. The keyboard is wet from my tears!

25 May 2012 Room 12 children try to encourage the rest of the school to take their rubbish home.

All children have been signed up for 'studyladder'. We will look at the activities during class times and if you follow the note I have put inside their reading logs and you can help them at home.

Look who came to visit Waiau Pa School this week!



We all want to wish Nevaeh the best and hope she gets well soon and comes back to school.

The children will then show you what to do. 23.4.2012 We have started a new term with 7 girls and 9 boys. We farewell out anonymous girl and welcome Caleb. This term we will be working on Sustainability and will be encouraging the rest of the school to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle by introducing Kowhai's own portable worm bin. Parents, if you like what you see and wish to buy a similar worm bin let us know because the school would benefit from $50.
