Heart Warming Writing

This is why we love our job. These beautiful students practicing their handwriting on our white boards leaving messages which make us smile. Good effort team. We are proud of you! This gives the teachers of Piako Rua warm fuzzies and fills up our cup!

Achievement Awards

As always we are proud of our tamariki for their efforts during school. Here are some stand out stars for a variety of reasons. Keep up the good work team! You are all fantastic!

Piako Rua Fun Friday.

Here are some snaps from the last Fun Friday we had. The kids love using their creativity and opting into things which interest them. Below are some of the kids who made some catapults! We tried a variety of techniques but only one managed to work - so we all built that and had a competition. Was so much fun flinging paper around the room! 

On Friday we also cooked chocolate chip cookies! They were so YUM that Miss Fairbairn didn't even manage to get photos and they were all in our bellies! Here is Jasmine and Ilam with her cookie waiting patiently to go in the oven!

Piako Rua Problem Solvers

Check out these three students having a go at untangling the ladder we use for SMART Moves. It was so amazing to see them working together harmoniously. We have some true leaders in the making. What great problem solving skills. Well done you three!!
