Term 2 - Be Confident!

Puriri Assembly - Sinan and Olly are awesome!

Many children were involved in Parent-Teacher discussions in Week 11. 

It was awesome to see our Room Six learners actively listening to and participating in chats about how the year has gone so far, and what things would make the rest of 2016 a successful year for them.

Special congratulations to Oliver, who spoke confidently about his learning and activities at school so far this year, and to Sinan, who, has set goals to make the most of his learning time and already shown signs of carrying this out.

Thanks for all your involvement in the chats Room Six, I can't wait to see you all back in term two.

Duffy Role Model - April 11 2016

Yesterday was a special day at Owairaka. Tarsh from Flava Radio and the NZ Warriors came to speak to us about the importance of READING from an early age. She spoke to us about how important reading has been in her life and career.

Thanks Tarsh for sharing your time with us. It was very special for Room 6.

CONGRATULATIONS also to Ava (Room 6), who along with Berlin and Ketula (R23), performed the Duffy Song for the whole school. You all sang and moved beautifully! More great role models.

Ronan and the Golden Certificate

Room 6 celebrated with Ronan this Friday after he took the coveted yellow certificate away from school assembly. Ronan has shown his great manners through term one, and is great at getting along with all his fellow room 6 learners.

Keep it up Ronan, we love having you as a great role model in our class.
