Play Based Learning
Room One have been learning in a play based environment this year. We are currently developing more outside areas to invite children to play and imagine more. If you have any ideas, or skills that could help us in this area, we would love to hear from you.
This 'car,boat,bus,train' has been a big hit! Thanks to Peter Gwyn and Paul Allen for putting it together for us.

Digital Learning - Information Evening
Digital Learning Information Evening-Monday September 5 5:30 -6:30 in Room 7
Last year it was indicated on our community survey that digital technology was an area you wanted to know more about. Therefore we have arranged an informative workshop for you to attend.
You are invited to an information evening to find out about how digital learning happens in the Kaurihohore classrooms! We will be looking at the basic ways digital technologies are used in our learning, have a few cyber safety tips and have a special guest speaker to talk about ‘Future focused learning’. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions so if you have something you’ve been wondering about then this is the perfect chance to ask.
We will need a minimum of 10 families to RSVP for this evening to go ahead and yes…childcare will be available on site, please make sure you indicate that this will be needed on the form below so we can make arrangements.
Please fill in the RSVP slip below and return to the office ASAP to register your interest.

Cross Country - Friday 12th of August
CROSS COUNTRY - OUTLINE OF THE DAY
At 10.05am the school will assemble on the courts.
All races other than the Year 0/1 races go outside of the school
grounds. It is very important that cars are parked and not exiting the
school during the events.
Times on these events are approximate and we often run ahead of
time, please do not expect office staff to know which races have run or
are due to run, your best bet is to be there during the block of your
child’s race e.g. if they are in year 3, come for the morning block
before morning tea. The block of junior races are often over very
quickly.
(NB This inter-school event will be based on age rather than year
level.)
