HANDS UP FOR LEARNING

The National Standards Bus came to our school and we all went and had a look at the Bus.
We have been talking about National Standards with our Mātua so we can understand what is happening with education.

Here are some photos of our Akomanga and photos we took for "Hands up for Learning"

Moving up the Hill

We had a Hikoi up the hill towards Renwick House. We did this because we were going to settle our Pōtiki.
We now have 4 TEACHERS in Te Pouahi- Thanks Whāea Trina for working hard. You are an awesome leader.
We did the Haka up the hill, and most of the school lined the path for us as we went past.
We will be calling Renwick 1- Pōtiki and we will keep doing this until we have another space.
It has been a busy few weeks for us- 4 Teachers, new area for our Pōtiki and sadly- our Whāea Trina is leaving us. She will be going at the end of Term 2 to take up her new job in Auckland. We will really miss her and we know that her new school will love her like we do.

Farewell to Becky, Annie and Lucy's Granny and Grandad

We had a farewell organised for Annie, Becky and Lucy's grandparents- who came to New Zealand last year. They had gotten to know some of us and they came to camp with us and they were lovely people.
It was cool to have some more Grandparents in Te Pouahi, and they were funny too!
Thanks for coming to our school and for being in Te Pouahi!

Whanau we have been so so busy, the term is flying by, so fast we can't see it :)

Fundraising- we have had some fantastic support where Fundraising is concerned- bagging apples, selling tickets to the premiere of "Boy", and stock taking.

Thank you to all who have helped out- your blogging team Abel, Lucy and Analijia..

Well done to our tamariki from Te Pouahi for your awesome swimming too!

Week 5

Kiaora whānau!

We have had a busy week, with swimming sports, and lots of art to complete. Thank you to all Mātua who attended- we are true to our word on our starting times, so we had a few parents who were on time and a couple who came at the end of our races. It was a fantastic day, we all enjoyed it!
Thanks to Whāea Sheryll for helping run the events and taking names down for the trials for our school swimming team for Interschool's, Whāea Trina for making sure we were all on task and to Whāea Erina and Whāea Carly for being patient while we were racing :) And also to our tēina for having lots of smiles and lots of fun :)

Our Ranginui and Papatuanuku paintings are looking tau kē! Thanks also to Whāea Caroline for relieving in Te Pouahi Tekau ma Rima while Whāea Trina was on First Aid training. We completed sketches of Ina Te Paparahi, and they were hard but look fantastic!
