Room 15: "AMAZING AREWHANA"

Amazing Arewhana would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.  We have worked very hard up to this week; completing reflections and setting goals for next year. Lots to celebrate for, friendships made, friendships to make in 2018 and more hard work to be had. We are very sad to leave each other as we are all not going to be together, but there is one thing our teacher has taught us, is don't forget our our friendships made. The PRIDE values are instilled in each and everyone of us and what we liked about our PRIDE values is that it makes us stronger citizens of ROWANDALE SCHOOL and of Aotearoa.  Memories of 2017 Some really great memories. Have a safe Christmas and a merry new year.  Summer time bring the best out in children, here is our last celebrations with our buddy class.  MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR (ENGLISH) MERI KIRHIMETE ME TE TAU HOU  (MĀORI) MANUIA LE KIRISIMASI ME TAUSAGA

We give thanks to our almighty God for the grace and strength he has given us to conquer another year.  This year has been a blessing, not only because it was my first year here at Rowandale School but to grow with 23 children in our learning, teaching and laughter of each other.  To watch these children blossom into flowers from little seeds and become independent wild flowers ready for 2018. To prize just one child was very difficult but to know they are all winners, by accomplishing their goals and striving to do their best. So Congratulations Amazing Arewhana its sad that we all leave each other and move on to other classes but to always remember...  You are the CLASS OF RM 15 for 2017. Here are some photos taken from our celebrations yesterday. Also I am humbled to have received a taonga by a beautiful whanau who felt I had gifted their daughter with more mana and aroha for her learning. Blessings to you all.   Amazing Arewhana Award winners for 2017 Acade
