Wow, what a fabulous - filled term we have all had.
This last week has seen a lot of new learning from our local Papawai Marae and then our trip to Te Papa Museum in Wellington.
For some children the trip on a bus to Wellington was a first, for some children visiting Te Papa was a first, for some children going to a marae was a first - How NEAT IS THAT!
A HUGE thank you to our wonderful parent helpers - I loved that you were all hands on and helped out.
The comments I heard over the week have really warmed my heart - the excitement, some the unknown and a lot of children going out of their comfort zones doing a big trip on a bus without their parents or family.
I AS THE TEACHER OF ROOM 7 CHILDREN...felt exceptionally proud of the SHARP behaviour at Papawai Marae.
