The Road Crossing Song

This morning I walked up with two senior girls to put in the order for the lunches. On the way they taught me the 'Road Crossing Song' and we sang it each time before we crossed the road.  It's nice to know that safety is paramount in their minds.

Buddy reading was a joy to watch today, it is wonderful to see those relationships being made across the school and everyone having the opportunity to share a story with someone else.

Teaching is a diverse occupation as was evidenced today by the arrival of many a frozen order in Piwakawaka. Fortunately, Karen's programme is well established and the students continued to work diligently on their reading tasks.  As I moved round talking to individuals and small groups they were able to talk intelligently about what they were doing and why they were doing it.  This is a credit to Karen and  the effective, engaging and purposeful programme she runs.











If you're shopping in the weekend, don't forget to buy Sunkist oranges and bring the stickers off them in to school for the competition.  Sarah has done a great job getting on to this and we really need to keep those stickers rolling in. We want those iPads!

See you on Monday at the traffic presentation and meet the teacher night, it's all go.
