Kia ora GIS Whānau

We’ve reached the end of Term 1 and while you spend some quality time with your children, we will be recharging our energy levels and get ready for Term 2!  We had a fantastic last day of term where a number of students were recognised in either the Recognition Assembly or the Whakapapa presentations.  Thank you to the whanau that took time out to come and join the celebrations.

Do note the shared learning resource for each phase of school.  We are needing you to help your child become familiar with the vocabulary and ideas the teachers have shared so that they can more easily tackle the Term 2 unit NAVIGATION.

Coming up in Term 2

Learning Unit:   Navigation   click the link to find the words your child needs to know.

Health:  

We have a parent / whanau survey to complete.  This will be distributed during week 2. All FULLY COMPLETED forms will go into a draw to win a substantial monetary prize.

Our school and Painga Project are working together to offer free hearing and vision screening for all tamariki. Your child will have their vision and hearing checked by Painga Project during school hours.  If your child requires further vision and hearing support we will let you know what is involved. Then with your written permission this can also be completed within school hours at no cost to you. 

The best attendance for the last week of school is claimed by Room 3!   We done students and families.

Did you know:   School starts for term2 on Monday 28 April

This week we celebrate the writing of Grace and Amelia in Rm 1.  Our next writing award will be on display from week 2 next term.

Enjoy the term break, we look forward to seeing all the students from day 1 next term.

Go well
