The children of Te Tahi have been reflecting on the things that made their first year at school a memorable one.

At Bluestone, we hope to make positive memories for all of the the children that come through our doors. In order to do so we need to make sure we have the voice of the children letting us know what they love and what they get excited about when they come to school each day. Here are some of the thoughts from our 5 year olds.
