Welcome To our new children and their whānau, nau mai haere mai ki te Kura Rāwhiti! Welcome Laurelle Rakete, Tia Karena and Ciara Slade.  This year we are focussing on improving the way that we teach Maths. We have two facilitators that come to our school during each term to support and develop teacher understanding around the teaching of Maths. They work in classrooms with teachers and children. Last week we had a staff hui about the teaching of Fractions – we learnt about what we should be teaching at each Year level and trialled some activities and problems that we could use with our children. This Friday 24th August – school closes at 12pm This Friday 24th of August school will be closing at 12pm so that all staff can attend a professional development afternoon at Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Kaikohe with all the other staff from the schools within our community of Learning, Te Arahura. Buses will be running early and we will be expecting all children to either be collected by 12p m on this day or walk home. Congratulations to our Rugby Reps!
