Finding out about each other

Image
 In Korimako we have been finding out about each other. I have been sharing some information and photos about me. Following some conversations  we collect some relevant data to see what similarities and differences there are with our classmates.  Here are a couple of examples. You could ask your child where they like to swim or share about who you lived with as a child growing up. When I lived in London there were 13 people at our house sometimes more. Perhaps you have some stories to share about the different places you have lived.

Welcome to 2025

I am the class kaiako and Whaea Jude is our kaiawhina. We have had a fabulous 4 days getting to know each other so far.  Whaea Jude Thank you to those who have sent along the stationery. Every day the children ask to do some work in their books so this is appreciated. We will swim every day at 12.20pm while it is so hot so please send togs and a towel. My email address is kim@waitaraeast.co.nz Our class celebrations and sharing of our learning will be shared in this blog and communications about upcoming school events will be done on Hero and the school Facebook page. Please let me know if you need support accessing Hero or call in at the office for Maggie or Jane to help you. Again, welcome and I look very forward to getting to know you and your child as the year progresses.  Whaea Kim
