Getting to know you

Room One 2009

Welcome back to school families of Room One students, we welcome especially Tamahae and his family. The fun filled holidays are over but we can still enjoy what remains of the summer in a different way here at school.

This year our focus is ‘Communication’ which is a key principle of our new school vision. The direction this has taken so far has been ‘how do I get my message across?’ with many of the children replying to the letter I wrote to them in the holidays, 22 in fact! The class blog has already been well used with a number of children successfully making a comment and sharing their opinion in this forum. If making a comment via this platform is impossible I welcome emails bobby@pahoia.school.nz and love receiving letters or notes. Our homework folders are also a handy avenue to use for communication between home and school.

I am looking forward to 'getting to know' as many of you as possible at the “Meet the Teacher” evening in Room One next Wednesday at 6.45pm. Miss Lee, the Room One teacher every Tuesday, will be there also.

2009 is going to be an exciting year. I look forward to experiencing many adventures with your children. Thank you for sharing them with me.
