Caught Being Good - Maia

Ka pai Maia - caught being good in Room 19 this week. We have been doing lots of talking in class about asking for help when you need it, and Maia has been really extending her learning and thinking, especially in reading comprehension group time.

You are a great learner because you want to get better, nice one Maia. Well done for your commitment to Puriri Netball this year also!

Caught Being Good - Rose

Ka pai Rose, you always give quality contributions to class discussions. You are a great role model with the 'talk moves' you use - like agreeing, adding on, or rephrasing what your classmates have shared.
