Kia Ora Whanau & Room 12,

My name is Whaea Sadna. I would like to extend my warmest wishes to you all on the beginning of our new academic year.

To familiarize myself I am originally from Fiji. I have nine years of primary teaching experience and two years of service in Early Childhood in New Zealand.

I have a passion for teaching, and I believe together we can help our children reach their full potential and to work towards their goals.

Let us get together to have a blast and a fun filled learning journey.

I am looking forward to meeting you all in person.

Kia Ora whanau

It has been an absolute pleasure teaching and learning with these amazing tamariki over the past few weeks.

During these first few weeks the tamariki have bonded well. Our tamaiki have incredible potential and a natural curiosity about the world around them. Because of this we have chosen to learn as much as possible about The Sun’ for our learning pathways.

Our teaching focus for maths is addition and subtraction.

A printed copy of reading is given out each Monday which is to be taken home for reading.

Spelling and library books are also given to improve literacy.

See below for a few photos showing what we have been up to so far;

EVERY GREAT JOURNEY STARTS WITH A SINGLE STEP

Kia Ora Whanau

It was indeed a pleasure meeting you during the whanau conversation. It has given me an insight about your family. We will also be working towards the expectations you have from your child.

In mathematics we are on multiplication so encourage your child to learn timestable. Writing - explanation writing and learning about planet Saturn in learning pathways. Also encourage your tamariki to read for 30 minutes on a daily basis.

Attached are some of the pictures of what our tamariki has been doing so far

Kia Ora Whanau.

Hello Whanau

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for sending your children to school everyday. Under any circumstances your child is unable to attend school please do call the office and inform them of your child’s absentism.

Thank you for your contribution towards our shared lunch in school. It was great to see our children incorporate the ethics of sharing, friendship building and promoting social interactions.
