WELCOME TO TERM 2

Hi all I hope you've had a great break. Term 1 flashed by and I am sure Term 2 will be quick as well.

Our thoughts will be with Liz as she undergoes treatment we look forward to her being back at Stoke School as soon as possible.
Sarah will be teaching in Room 5 and is acting DP with some shared responsibilities with Jane.

WE WELCOME TO THE TEACHING STAFF:
* Renee McCorkindale who is taking the senior literacy and numeracy mornings Mon-Thursday.
* Dennis Pili who is Teacher Aiding in Rooms 5 and 6 every morning and taking games at lunchtimes.

Check out Gayes class as she has a new toy to play with for 5 weeks, we are not jumping in to buy it but it is good to see some things currently being used in other schools.

Friday sports we have Jackie Duncan taking hockey, George taking soccer and Dennis takinbg rugby. Hopefully Marty will take an activity and Janes helper is taking netball.

FRIDAY MORNINGS T.2

What are we going to do regarding Kapa Haka? Friday mornings 9:30-10:30am.

We need to decide, have a think.
