Although we started off with a rocky start, we are back and our kids are getting back into their learning.  Thank you to those whānau who turned up to the whānau hui on Wednesday night, the partnership that we create together is what makes your children successful in their learning. If you missed out, please ensure you make the next one. We need to hear your voice! Newsletters will come out every fortnight that will cover important pānui and so on. Please make sure your email address is updated at all times. Ngā mihi Whaea Zara Please make sure your child brings a hat every day. When our tamariki are out playing, it gets quite hot. We also have printed bucket hats for sale. If you would like to purchase one please head over to Uniform Hub – Waatea School Waatea School Library  We are very excited to announce that a new school library is underway at Waatea School. A school library supports children’s love of reading and learning. It gives them access to a range of learning resources and fosters their interests. A library can be a safe, quiet, and stimulating space for students at lunchtime.  We would like to formally acknowledge and give thanks to the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local board for funding $5,000 to our school to help us kick-start our school library. We were able to purchase a variety of books. Whaea Gabrielle has also been working very hard to organise our library for us. The grand opening has been set for this term. Keep an eye out for this special date!  Meet the teacher – Term One We have meet the teacher afternoon coming up this term. It is important that ALL whānau attend. The connections that we can establish now, will mean a better learning experience for you and your child. Keep an eye out for an email from your child’s kaiako to confirm your time.  Waatea School Facebook Page Please head on over to our Facebook page and follow to keep updated with the latest pānui, and exciting things that we get up to here at Waatea School.
