Welcome to Room 1's blog. We are a Year 4-8 class at Te Mahia School situated on the Mahia peninsula. This year looks to be bigger and brighter than ever. Our teachers are Miss Kereru each day until 12pm. Then Miss O'B from 12pm until home time. We are a dedicated bunch of learners who take risks daily and are not afraid of hard work. Check out our class blog to see how Room 1 roll.

'Mauria te pono' - 'Believe in yourself'
As we enter the second holiday break of the year, the last 11 weeks have been enjoyable, sometimes demanding but always rewarding. Being a teacher in a school is a privilege and one in which carries responsibility. We are responsible for the dreams, aspirations and future of many tamariki.
I believe the whakatauki (Maori proverb) 'Mauria te pono' - 'Believe in yourself' is one that resonated with Room 1 this term. Each child is unique and this whakatauki is one that I want all our tamariki to remember. Every child will have a dream or an aspiration that they can achieve. But this will not happen if first and foremost, they don't believe in themselves.
Have a happy and enjoyable holiday everyone!!
