Tai's Terrific Achievements:

Kia Ora Everyone,

Today Tai was awarded with an online certificate for all of his efforts in his distance learning achievements. Congratulations Tai for all your hard work and effort.

Let's see Tai's journey over the last 5 weeks: 

Tai, you are such a vivacious bubbly person, and I have missed our numerous chats in class about a wide range of topics. I know at times it has been hard for you being at home, as you usually have a lot of extra curricular activities going on in the past. However, it has been fantastic getting to see you in your home family environment and the gains that have been occurring there. You have made tremendous progress in your drawing, writing, reading, colouring in, Mathematics and creative art. I can even see that you have more patience from the morning meets, which is a huge achievement. 

I am so proud of you, mum, dad and Liam for all your hard work and efforts over the last 5 weeks. I am looking forward to working with again back in class as of Monday (the 18th of May 2020), on the learn, create, share platform, to see the new experiences and developments you will encounter. 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend, being safe and taking care. 

Aroha nui, 

Mrs Futcher :)
