Kia ora whānau!
Last term was absolutely packed with excitement, especially with our bi-annual “Fiafia night.” It was a massive success, bringing together our families and communities to watch our amazing performers dance and sing the night away. What a brilliant way to wrap up Term 1 – “Joy, Koakoa mai, koakoa atu.”

Welcome back to Term 2! As we head into autumn and winter, it’s starting to get a bit nippy out there! This term, our learners are setting their sights on “beyond the sky.” Make sure to check out our Team 3 school immersion assembly, which showcase our Team 3 inquiry. This ties in beautifully with Matariki Day and our Language Week celebrations.
Our learners will be diving into dictation this term. They’ll be listening to audio and using slides to help them write a couple of sentences about our topic. This will help frontload their knowledge about our inquiry topic. It’s been awesome to see how excited they are about learning about the Solar System, the stars (Matariki), and our seasons. One of our curious lear
ners even asked, “Miss, where is Pluto?” … hmmmm? Great questions, I wonder if anyone can help us?
Don’t miss our first dictation topic: “Phases of the Moon!” How does the moon impact our planet? Not only does it give us our superpower sleep, but it also affects our environment. Hmmm, interesting, eh?
