FYI - Parent / whānau information session coming up ...
Kia ora whānau I’m excited to present this new parent education programme in response to a need amongst some of our tamariki lately. We have worked very closely with Katrina and Rochelle in the past to support our kids on the ridge and can highly recommend their knowledge, skills and approach. Please let me (Tanya t.healy@selwynridge.school.nz)know asap if this is an opportunity you’d like to take advantage of. Ngā mihi
Nau mai, hoki mai - welcome back to all our whānau and tamariki! It is always awesome to see the smiling faces ready to get stuck into learning after the break away. Even the sun made an appearance! A special warm welcome to our brand new ākonga and their families who started with us today. In our MM (Monday Message assembly) Mr Price welcomed us all back and talked to us about the key values that make amazing learners - but todays message was around attitude. Having a positive learning attitude is the first step to success! Mr Price shared some exciting news around our Wednesday Challenge active travelling - SRP was awarded with the biggest mode shift for T2 - ka rawe tō mahi! We also looked at the local schools leaderboard and how we can keep challenging ourselves. Way to go team - together we are stronger. MĀ WHERO, MĀ PANGO, KA OTI AI TE MAHI Many hands make light work
Kia ora koutou, And just like that it is the last day of the break. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone back on Monday morning as we kick off Term 3. A very warm welcome to all our new learners joining the Selwyn Ridge whānau! See below some of our upcoming events. Looking forward to another great term! "Nau mai, haere mai, ki te whānau o Selwyn Ridge – mā whero, mā pango ka oti ai te mahi."
We had a fabulous end of term 'Soaring High Hui' this morning. Tino pai tō mahi to all our certificate award winners - outstanding work! And to all the SRP tamariki for a terrific term. Room 10 & 2 shared some of their bush survival adventure where they learnt about the importance of; safety & preparation, river crossing, shelter building, flint & steel fire starting and compass/map reading - wow, outstanding STEM mahi! Ngā mihi to Room 18 who choreographed an energetic movement break for us all, definitely got the blood pumping:) We were also lucky to have some tamariki from Rooms 15, 16, 18, 21 & 11 demonstrate some of their skipping from taking part in Jumping June, but the highlight was the staff display of skills with the ropes! We hope you have a great holiday break and we will see you all back ready to launch Term 3 in 2 weeks. Nga hararei hari - happy holidays
