Art depicting our School Vision

This afternoon we made small groups and practiced working together to create some art. We decided to collage lots of coloured paper from magazines to make each symbol from our School Vision.

We worked really well together to find our colours and paste them onto our art. Some of us even found colours for other groups - what great thinking!

Student Teacher

A big welcome to Mr Joshua Halkett who is joining us for seven weeks. Mr Halkett comes from the Graduate School of Education and is on his first placement.

He tells me that he has had an awesome first week in Room 10. Yay! We hope you enjoy the rest of your time at Wairakei School.

Here he is playing 'shops' with Daniel.

Vision Launch

In the first week of the term we launched our absolutely brilliant new Wairakei School Vision. One aspect of our vision is called WE CARE. We made the following movie with our buddy class (Room 6) about what WE CARE is all about.
