This year in Te Mahuri

Hey there...Welcome to my first blog for 2020...in fact forever...as I have, categorically, never blogged before.  This is, in fact, what is known as my backward bicycle and a seriously steep learning curve.. But I know I have the awesome Mrs Taylor and Team Te Mahuri to help me along the way.

Over the past three weeks we have been swimming at YMS and we have been super impressed with the way the TM team have stepped up and given everything a go.  Some have even faced their greatest fears and put their heads under the water!!!! Way to go Team TM!

I have included some photos of our complete aqua awesomeness....check us out.

Righto that's it fom me..until next week..over and out

Our Class Treaty

In week 1 and 2 we worked together as a class to consider and reflect upon what we need to have a successful classroom. We identified what qualities a YMS HERO exhibits as a healthy individual, enthusiastic learner, responsible citizen and open-minded explorer. We realised we had lots of qualities. After that we looked at how we work best both individually and in small groups. When we came back together as a class, we considered all of our responses and then created our class treaty.

Here it is ...

We are excited about our class treaty because it means that we all know what the 'rules' are and what is expected of us. Do you have a class treaty? Is it similar or different to ours?
