A big, warm, Te Rito Harakeke welcome to all our new tamariki and whānau and welcome back to our Year 1 Kiwi Kids!

What an amazing start to the year we have had in the Kiwi Hub. We have welcomed 22 new tamariki to Kiwi Brooks and Kiwi Gain! So lovely to have you all here and we are so excited to see what the year holds for you!

We had fun playing with the parachute to practice working together, celebrating Chinese New Year by dressing up and writing stories, lots of fun mahi and new friends! We learned about Te Tiriti o Waitangi and learned our Kiwi Hub rules.

Kiwi Ngatai and Kiwi Brown have been busy little bees, working hard and getting to know their new teacher and classmates.

Te piko o te māhuri, tērā te tupu o te rākau. The way in which the young sapling is nurtured, determines how it will grow.

Well done on such a positive, happy start to the year. We are so happy to be here with you!
