Week 2, Term 1

Dear Whānau

It has been such a pleasure hearing the buzz within the studios this past week. Meeting the new children and Whānau is always an exciting time!

The learners have all settled well into their new classes, and are getting to know each other, their new routine and teacher through games and oral language activities in class.

A huge welcome to our new learners who have joined our KingsWay community this year: Jack Ballantyne, Karla du Toit and Aisha Shotbolt. May your journey be incredibly blessed!
