Last week we celebrated students from across the school who were acknowledged for making great choices that help them to fly in their lives and learning.  They are listed below and remember that you can access photos from our school Facebook page.

First Flight – New Entrant and Year 1

 Mrs Absalom, Mrs Kendrick Mrs Anthony & Mrs Bishop

Toe Toe	Magee Lea	For showing that you are listening carefully in class and being a positive role model for others by making good behaviour choices. Well done.
Harakeke	James Wood	Awesome news. It is great to hear that not only have you caught the reading bug, but now you have caught the writing bug as well. You are writing by yourself by listening to the letter sounds and writing words that you know. Kia Maia.
Kaponga	Te Atamarie Te Pere	For a fantastic attitude to learning particularly during reading. You are practising at home so that your reading sounds smooth and fluent! Great effort.
