Oakura School Room Tawa 2022

Looking back at term 1 and what went well... At the end of the term we completed a reflection sheet and shared on it what we were proud of and enjoyed. Here are some of the results: made new friends having our family cultures and where we are from up in our room enjoyed buddy time parents proud of the work I am doing enjoyed the way we work meeting new people signing up for more activities having good friends and not fighting with them the persistence I showed in maths reading improvements I have made in reading and maths finishing my work early playing with other people What a great list! We are looking forward to more great things happening and challenging us throughout term 2.

On April 03 Wednesday, Olympian Mike Dawson came to the PC room to talk about his slalom kayaking at the Olympics. We had a fantastic time there listing to his wonderful journey. His story was really interesting and eye opening. He told us about the values he strives to achieve which included: respect, excellence and friendship. One child got dressed up in the gear he wears when he is competing. We hope you all like our photo.
