Week 7

By Julie Boyd - November 29, 2017

Hello everyone, On Tuesday we had a very successful H20 Extreme Pool and Maidstone Park trip. The students managed themselves well and they showed respectful and responsible behaviour. Today, we walked to Tawa Library and the lovely Librarian Shelly read three stories to us and then told us about the 'Summer Challenge' book review challenge for children aged 5 to 12 years old. Room 10 students were then able to enjoy reading books from the library. We encourage you to give your child opportunities to read over the long break. It is a special experience for families to spend time reading together and fostering a love of reading. Below is a timetable of up and coming events that Room 10 will be involved in and some photos from the trip on Tuesday and today. The weather has been fantastically warm so please send some shorts for your child to get changed into if they wear trousers to school. We have had some children struggling with the heat because they ...

Week 1 - Welcome back!

By Julie Boyd - January 30, 2017

Dear Families, Welcome back, it is great to see the children’s smiles and excitement to be back at school and in our classroom. We have loved hearing all the stories and adventures they have been experiencing over the summer holidays. Ruma Kakariki is fortunate to be working in part of D Block. We have a total of 50 students, 4 teacher aides (coming in at different times) and 2 teachers. We are Samantha Harrison and Julie Boyd, known to the students as Mrs H and Julie. A little bit about Sam ... I am married to Liz and we have two daughters, Maddy and Esther, both in Year 12 at Aotea College. We live in Ascot with Hugo the puppy, two turtles – Boris and Stephanie and a fish!. I love spending time with my family, camping, mountain biking, playing softball and badminton and the occasional movie. This is my tenth year at Tawa Primary. I look forward to getting to know you and your families and working together over the coming yea...

Rail Safety Week

By Julie Boyd - August 14, 2017

Tena Koutou, We have had some more birthdays to celebrate, Savannah turned 8 on Friday. On Monday 14th we celebrated Tyler turning 8 and Javahn turning 9. This week is Rail Safety Week. Today Room 10 walked to Redwood Station to discuss how to be safe around railway tracks. We watched some safety videos and we also viewed some footage of train drivers talking about when they have near misses or worse occurs because people have taken risks when crossing railway tracks. It would be great if you could check out the photos and discuss the messages listed below with your child. Tena korua Julie & Sam Key safety messages for pedestrians. Every time you’re near railway tracks, be alert. Trains can come at any time, from either direction. Only cross at formed pedestrian crossings or an overpass or underpass. Remove your headphones, stop and always look both ways for trains before crossing the tracks. ...
