Welcome to Room 23 for 2014

Tena Koutou Katoa. Welcome to our new blog for the new year!

I am sure the children have had wonderful holiday experiences that they can't wait to share with their new classmates. This is me at Kelly Tarlton's. I'm the same size as a penguin!

The office  was open last week from 9 till 3 for uniform, fees and stationery enquiries. Stationery is purchased as a Year 2 pack costing $30 or $25 for loyalty card members. Purchases may be made before and after school.

This year I will be asking you to email me your email address [ taniam@arahoe.school.nz ] so that school notices can be forwarded directly to you. No more notices falling out of bookbags. Hurray!

Look on the Ara Teina topic page for information about our GREEN topic this year. Sustainability is our key concept and this term we are going to focus on personal sustainability or making good choices and managing ourselves to create a happy and sustainable class.

Our Library day is Monday and swimming is yet to be advised. I will not send reading books home until bookbags and notebooks have been set up which will probably be the second week. Hope you had a lovely long weekend.

Swimming is Friday last block. Please send named swimming costumes, towels and goggles(optional) in a plastic or swimming bag.

Looking forward to seeing you all, Room 23 on 28th January.

Mrs Makani
