We have a Marae trip coming up in Week 3 and a river cruise boat trip in Week 4 to learn about special places of interest in Hamilton.  Keep checking into this blog for what is happening in Room 3.  We will also be using 'Seesaw' as a digital portfolio for you to follow your child's learning.  There will be more information coming about this.

Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions. I am available in the morning from 8.30.  I am looking forward to getting to know your children and helping them become the best learners they can be.

We are playing with puzzles and matching games.

We are busy playing in the family area.

Here is the 'Making Space'

We are reading in the book corner.
