ENROLMENTS FOR TERM 3 & 4

Do you, or someone you know, have a child who will turn 5 years old this year and intends to start at our school? If you / they haven’t already enrolled, we would love to start this process ASAP. Please contact Sharon at the office.

LEARNING TIPS When you listen to you child read it is very important that you let them read by themselves. If they make a mistake give them time, PAUSE, to let them notice their mistake. If they do not notice their mistake you need to PROMPT them to try again and PRAISE what they do to fix it up. After the reading, talk about what hap-pened in the story and if you can, relate it to an event in their own life.

HANGI A massive THANKS to all our whānau who helped in any way towards making our school hangi a delicious suc-cess! Whether that be donations of food or koha. Special thanks to whānau who were able to spend time in school helping our children peel and sort vegetables - you are amazing! Also, special thanks to the whānau who arrived before the sun to help build the fires and put our hangi in to cook. Finally a special, special thanks to David Dixon, for leading our hangi. Such a tremendous effort - we thank you for giving your time, muscles and knowledge.

WAIHI EAST SCHOOL SCHOOL NEWSLETTER 21/2016 6th July 2016

Kia ora koutou. Ngā mihi maioha ki a koutou katoa. Warm greetings to you all. My goodness, the last 10 weeks have flown by! What a great end to Term 2! All the fabulous Matariki events, the most delicious hangi today and a stunning performance by our musicians, led by Mrs Tasma. I have been impressed with the children’s willingness to give all sorts of activities a go, and to challenge themselves in their learning. I’ve loved having them share their learning with me, hearing about what they are interested in and the things they do outside of school. I would like to thank all the staff for their amazing professionalism, and their commitment to providing the best educational opportunities for the children here. I have really enjoyed working with them all. A huge thanks to Rachael and Briar for their impressive leadership during this time of change; they have been a great support to me! Thanks also to Sharon for coping so well with having me ask questions and for favours on a daily basis. Thanks to the two Boards I have worked with. The school is lucky to have such strong governance. Thanks to you all for being so welcoming and friendly too. It has been great working in a school that has children’s learning needs and well-being at its heart. Finally I hope that your new principal, Zac Taylor, enjoys his time here, even half as much as I have, and that you are able to join the school in welcoming him at his pōwhiri on Monday 25th July, 10:30am. Whāia te iti kahurangi ki te tūohu koe me he maunga teitei Seek the treasure you value most dearly: if you bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain Ngā mihi nui, Whaea Steph (Anich), principal@east.school.nz
