Student Led Learning Conferences

It was wonderful seeing our students confidently and proudly leading their learning conferences last Thursday afternoon and evening.  Thank you so much to everyone who was able to participate. If you were unable to attend due to other commitments, please talk to us about having a conference one day before or after school.

Pupil of the Week

Camden - You just keep trucking on! you have such an amazing attitude to everything! you take on GIANT tasks and make them look so easy - even with broken bones!

Juliana - You help keep us sane - you have a way of making things easy, taking on tasks, giving us cards to perk us up and make us feel just as important as all of the students are to Turama.

Grace - your confident and active lights are shining. You just get on with it with a smile on your face. You ask others for help, and having you in Turama makes us all so happy!

Rowan - you are just glowing with confidence. The way you came into student led conferences, knew exactly what you wanted to say and just took charge of your learning with your parents was amazing to watch, and the best part is it is happening in everything you do!

Pupil of the Week

Term 2 has begun, and to start the term, all of the year 3, 4 and 5 students were congratulated on their efforts in week one, either at camp or at school.

Also the following two students impressed:

Jacob - it is so good to see you are developing clear plans for writing, that are really detailed. It is also great to see you leading others with their writing. Your literate and confident lights are on bright!

Sienna - Well done for you participation in basketball and cross country training this week. Keep it up!

Term 2 Begins!

What a week we had last week at Marahau with the Year 4 and 5 students from Turama, and the Year 5 and 6 students from Ramaroa. The weather was perfect and the students made the most of every opportunity to make connections with the environment and with the other students.

I know that the Year 3 students also had a blast at school, working with Grant and Ms Ellis. Look out this week for a few updates around what happened during week 1!

This term our connections focus is about making connections with what our families do within our community - what every single piece of the puzzle offers to make Upper Moutere such a special place.

We also have cross country in week 3 for the Year 4 and 5 students and the Year 3 cross country later in the term, and we also have gymnastics festival at the end.

It is going to be a busy exciting term!
