School Holidays

Wow! What a great year we have had, and now Room 18 is on holiday until 1st February 2012.

We had our final school day on 15th December, which turned out to be rainy for most of the day. We spent our time inside all day and watched a short movie, did Youtube karaoke and reflected on our year.

It is sad to see our Year 6 students leave, but I know they will do very well in their new schools. I look forward to teaching all of our Room 18 Year 5's again next year.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Here is a Justin Bieber song which was used during our karaoke session on our last day.

Year 6 Graduation

We are currently preparing for our end of year poroporoaki (farewell) for our amazing Year 6 children, with the event occurring on the 9th December 2011.

It is during these times that we realise how much learning, how many great friendships, and good times the children have had here during their primary school years. It is a time to be reflective about our learning journeys  and a time to look forward to many new adventures.

Year 6 - what is a great memory you have of your time at primary school?
