Week 4
Wow it is Week 4 already! We have been so busy setting goals, swimming and getting used to our new space that time has flown by! We are very luck this to have 2 fabulous student teachers joining us this year (3 weeks in Term 1 and later in Term 3). Miss Aberdin and Miss Ocampo. Miss Ocampo will be based with Miss Daly in Waitemata so if you see her about be sure to say hi.
We played some team building games like making a stretcher out of 12 sheets of newspaper, 4m string and tape. The challenge was to make it strong enough to carry 7kgs through an obstacle course. It was a lot of fun!
We have been having lots of fun in the school pool, in Week 3 we refreshed our sculling, floating, gliding and freestyle skills. This week we are off to Cameron Pools! We are extremely lucky to have access to 10 free swimming lessons taught by professionals. It is so important that our tamariki learn how to swim as we live in a place that is surrounded by water, please remind your child to bring their togs or send a note if they are unable to swim. Waitemata swim at Cameron Pools every Tuesday and Thursday and in the school pool on Wednesday.

Well Waitemata - I must agree, we have had a very busy start to the year: learning lots, getting to know each other well and setting ourselves clear goals to work towards. I have loved being in Te Waka Ako with you all! Your poetry writing has been expressive and there has been a lot of fun creating music in response to emotions. Keep up the hard work - we're going to have a wonderful 2019!
