KŌWHAI 2025

Welcome to Our Classroom!

Kia ora and welcome to our class site! Here, you'll find everything you need to stay informed and engaged in our learning journey. From weekly notices and important updates to helpful resources and activities.

Our focus is on building a strong foundation in maths and literacy while developing critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and independence. We believe in fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment where everyone is encouraged to try their best, take risks, and grow.

You'll also find information about our classroom routines, expectations, and the different strategies we use to support learning. This is a great place to keep up with what’s happening in Kōwhai!

Key dates to keep in mind for Term 3:
📅 Fortnightly Drop-In Sessions – from 3:15–4:15 pm. Feel free to stop by if you have any questions or just want to check in.

👟 Kōwhai P.E. – Every Monday. Please ensure students bring a water bottle to stay sun-safe and hydrated.

While I don’t set compulsory homework, I encourage students to read for at least 20 minutes each day. For those who would like extra practice, I have homework sheets available covering a range of subjects. Students can collect these in class as needed.

If you need to reach me, my contact details are listed below. Looking forward to a fantastic year ahead!
