Kia ora, we are Room 16 at Kawakawa Primary School. We are Year 2/3/4 students. We enjoy playing outside, especially on the playground. We love to go swimming and read. We like to play sports and play with toys in class.
We are working on being kind, using our manners all the time, and showing our school values, which are respect, responsibility, and resilience. We are starting the year fresh with our BSLA mahi, which will help us improve our literacy. We are looking forward to learning lots this year!
Kia ora, I am Room 16's teacher, Whaea Dana. I have been teaching at Kawakawa Primary School since Term 4 2006, mostly with the senior students. The last couple years I worked in the junior syndicate and loved it! It has been a big learning curve for me, but I wouldn't have it any other way. This year I am looking forward to teaching a new bunch of students and as always am keen to help my students be the best they can be. I have a passion for teaching children to read, write and learn maths, to love learning, and to grow their curious minds. I have trained in BSLA and looking forward to starting the year fresh with this learning and seeing our students progress through it. This year I am also embarking on my level 3 and 4 Te Reo Māori journey through Te Wananga o Aotearoa, and looking forward to applying that knowledge into my everyday life. My learning journey is never complete and I love having new tools and knowledge in my kete.
I love to read, play sports, hang out at the beach or in nature, and spend time with my whānau. I have 2 children, Tegan who is 12 years old, and Damian who is 9 years old, and I am happily married to my husband Brian. We have a gorgeous little rescue pup, Polly, who is turning 1 this year and loves coming to school to hang with Room 16.
Bring on 2025!
