Week 1 back in SUPER SHARP SEVEN - term 3

WELCOME BACK TO OUR WONDERFUL CLASSROOM - an amazing week, filled with wonderful speeches, an introduction to the Olympics 2016, catching up with each other....

 - and a bittersweet moment - Sophia finished in our classroom on Friday. We wish her all the best for her time at St Mary's School in Carterton. We had a lovely moment on Friday, we all sat in a circle and said one thing that Sophia has brought to us. The children were incredible and said wonderful things such as: her smile brightened up the classroom, she always helped me with my work, she would ask me to play, one day she helped me when I was stuck with my maths work - so Sophia - enjoy!

Photos to brighten your days.
