Grandparents Day

Today was one of the most beautiful days of the year! To see the many gorgeous relationships between the children and their special family person was incredible.  We started with an assembly where each year group shared a song.   Following our school assembly the tamariki were able to spend some time with their whanau showing them their special learning spaces. We loved this opportunity to develop whanaungatanga with extended whanau members.  A huge thank you to everyone who was able to visit with us today. 



It was a super full hall today!  Standing room only!

Week 2 - A week of values on show

This week has been incredible! We have caught many little moments on camera of our children demonstrating our Halswell School Values. These were all spontaneous and completely child directed which makes us extremely proud of our incredible children. Have a look below of some of the amazing things we saw this week: 


Kotahitanga - Collaboration






Manawanuitanga - Being my best self













Kaitiakitanga - Taking care of the environment 





Manaakitanga - Showing Care and Respect for self and others






Whanaunatanga - Growing connections and relationships to create a sense of belonging











Final Week of Fun!

We have had the most incredible week of fun and celebrations in Ahuriri. The children have loved getting into the Christmas spirit with song...
