Term 1 Week 1: This weeks focus has been making connections: Whanaungatanga

 Kia Ora E te whanau!

This week in Ruma tekau ma ono, we have been making connections in several ways from daily routines such as Karakia, Pēpēhā, practicing commands in Te Reo Māori, sharing information about ourselves, math's, art and also playing games.

We have looked at our basic facts, letter construction skills and the word resilient, which is part of our New Windsor Way. All of the students are working together in tuakana (older)  teina (younger) pairs to help us all settle into the new school year and our new classroom.

Ruma tekau ma ono ākonga have settled nicely into our new classroom and school bell times, with lots of different types of learning taking place from collaboration, respect, focus, confidence, resilience, Tikanga and responsibility.

Take a look at some of the great pictures showing the many different learning experiences that took place for Week 1.
