Kia ora, 

What a term this has been!!!! The highlights for me were, NumPa - learning addition and subtraction facts and strategies, Characterisations and all those cool and not so cool traits and personalities that we looked at.

Let's not forget the 'Battle of the Loot' and all the times we managed to win this trophy... and all the times we let it slip from our grasp!

The trip to the Tauranga Art Gallery was a buzz and everyone in room 7 enjoyed taking that trip together and viewing all the treasures that were there.

a big thanks to all the parents playing an active part in their children's learning. Without your input our 'treasures' would find the learning journey a hard road to travel. Also thank you to those parents that have filled out and returned the feedback / feed forward response about their child's leaning and future hopes and aspirations - I really value this feedback.

My last comment is to wish you all a save and happy holiday and I really look forward to next term where our focus will be 'Harmony' with the term virtues focusing on Creativity, Enthusiasm, Compassion and unity / Kotahitanga.

Take care, Matua David.
