New members to room 17

Today has been a super busy day - It started with a powhiri for a new student Keyanah. She played with the play dough, the lego and drew on the white board with the Patrick starfish reading group. She really liked to play with the tamariki taping many of them to go with her to the next activity. The class has done so well to welcome her to our class. - Whaea Jaime

This is Matua Nick. He is a new teacher aid in room 17. So far 2 of our reading groups have worked with him. (Spongebob) Darryl - "He is so much fun". Ridge - "He is helping us with our letters and sounds".

Today Matua Nick worked with Mr Crabs reading group. Qwayde - "We read our book to him and he helped us" Ani - "We played go fish". Haylin - "He is really cool to work with".

Our class is getting so big. Its cool we like it. Its fun to make new friends.
