Structured Literacy

You may have heard the constant buzz about structured literacy needing to be taught in schools.  A structured literacy approach systematically teaches systematic word identification and decoding strategies which benefits all students.  We have been undertaking professional development in this way of teaching for 2 years and we are seeing significant positive results in our learners.    I am pleased to say that we are well into the journey of teaching whole school structured literacy.

Fiefia Night

Our tamariki have been working hard learning a song and dance to share next Tuesday evening.  I would like to thank Ani and her team for coming along and teaching our tamariki.  It is great to have older siblings coming from Waitaki Girls and Boys to support them.

Kapa Haka

Mrs Jones and Eddie have been working extremely hard with our kapa haka group to get them ready for their performance next Thursday afternoon at the Opera House.  Please go along to support them.
