A great way to start the year!!

SMILES all around today, we could hear laughter and see tamariki playing games together and helping each other. It was as if the tamariki had never left school. The whole school started the morning off in their new house groups. All the tamariki played pass the banana, it was definitely hilarious watching each of them trying to pass the banana overhead to their friend behind them, and only using their feet. Room 1 tamariki then went on to do some snake (lollies) surgery in class. It was funny seeing the kids trying to thread their needle and stitch their cut up snakes back together. We definitely had some interesting surgeons in class with lots of sticky fingers and shorter snakes due to some tamariki eating them. What I did enjoy seeing today was the manaakitanga between our tamariki and how they encouraged each other in softball. Definitely a great start to the year Room 1, keep it up.
