Back To School Is Cool!!

 Wow! What a year it has been so far!

I am excited to get back into some normal routines. Room 11 will be excited when they find out what amazing planning I have been doing with our Teacher Team. From visits to The temple in Flatbush, to the Auckland Museum and more.

We will be celebrating Matariki in style this year. The plan is to create some fantastic, fashionable outfits by learning and understanding how Māori used sustainable living and materials to make clothes. I am looking forward to having a Hangi and many more Matariki activities...

Our learning will be focused on our school wide inquiry-ZIP
