Kia ora koutou e te whānau,

A special welcome to Zara, who has joined Room 9 for the year. Zara, you will love being at our school and will make lifelong friends.

The death of Kiingi Tuheitia is a time of great sadness for followers of Te Kiingitanga, and our nation.

He kura kua ngaroki tua o Rangi-whakamoe-ariki. Moi mai raa. A chief who has passed to the great beyond. Rest in love.

Little People, Big Feelings Programme - This is part of the Mike King Foundation. Your child would have received a lovely picture book. This emotional literacy programme fits in beautifully with our zones of regulation. The ambassadors facilitating the programme for us emphasised the simple fact that it is normal and healthy to experience a range of emotions. We are grateful to have been a part of this dynamic emotional literacy session.

The Joy of Spring

In the sight of a tiny lamb joyfully bounding across the hillside - we see the creators hand. For the sunlight's warmth upon the soil, we rejoice in the promise of spring.

Arohanui,
