Welcome back from a very chilly weekend!

I hope you all kept safe and warm this weekend. It is lovely to see the sun out today and so many happy faces at school. I am just posting an important reminder to parents and caregivers, regarding attendance.

PLEASE make sure your child is at school every day, unless they are really unwell, or if there is a genuine family emergency.

If this is the case you must ring us on 379 3137 or text 027 3793137. 

I really appreciate your supprort with this as it is so important the children aren't missing out on valuable learning time at school.

Please come and see me if you have any questions, concerns or need support with this.

Many thanks,

Emma Dolamore.

Free Educational Websites with Fantastic Games

It has been great to see lots of children and whanau from Room 10 using our blog to keep up to date and follow some of the exciting learning happening.

Many of the children in Room 10 have been having a go at some basic fact games online. I thought I would post some more fantastic free online learning sites.

I hope you have fun exploring these at home...(Click on the words below to go to the page you want).

Being Ready to Learn in Room 10!

I have asked the children to photograph different parts of our morning, the classroom and learning in Room 10.

The children have chosen what they wanted to take a photo of and have then written a blurb about their photo or learning in our morning block (literacy).

"I love playing on the adventure playground too"
Tayla.

I hope you enjoy reading and seeing their photos as much as I have.

Room 10 Rocks!

Hi Room 10 - a quick message from Miss Dolamore...

I have loved reading your comments on our blog this weekend.
So thank you to everyone for your lovely comments.

I hope Room 10 has had a fantastic day, I have been at home, sick with the flu.
I will see you again very soon this week, when I am feeling a bit better.

Keep up the excellent learning.

Miss Dolamore.
