Keeping Ourselves Safe

This week we have been learning how to keep ourselves safe in certain situations. Constable Garland has been coming into our classroom and discussing ways to be safe and also helping us to learn what to do if we need help.

 

Keep On Keeping On

Well done to Katie who received our Keep On Keeping On certificate this week.

Katie has a positive attitude and works hard on every task, always putting in her best effort.

Whakatu Marae Visit

What a fantastic morning we had at Whakatu Marae.
We learnt some things about the Marae; when and why it was built and also about the things inside the Wharenui.
We had a great morning tea and then got into groups to say out Mihimihi.
We couldn't take photos inside the Wharenui but here are some of the outside.

 Happy Birthday to Rilee, Keira, Jack, Jordan, Toby and Katie!

Kereru students receive a special birthday certificate, bookmark and cootie catcher on their special day :)
