Kia ora! 

We have had another busy and creative week in Room 14. A highlight for me would have to be reading the children's writing about 'The Day There Were No Teachers'...one child was sad, many were nervous, and a few were happy - REALLY??? Come in and read the recounts for yourself, and see what they would get up to if there really were no teachers... 

On another note, it is hard to believe we are in the closing weeks of the term. You may have heard that our art festival has been postponed until term three; this is positive as it gives us the opportunity to build our skills during the next term and a bit...I would love to try some modelling with the children, and to be able to experiment before presenting our final pieces. 

Sadly, Mrs Devi will have her last week with us next week. I know we all (students, parents, and the Target Rd community) have contributed positively towards her journey to become a New Zealand registered teacher. I know she would appreciate any positive affirmations, so here is mine! I have felt comfortable with you in the driving seat of Room 14. You have connected with us, and shared with us important aspects of what 'Identity' actually means. Thank you Mrs Devi, for your dedication to the learning in Room 14.

I hope to see you all tomorrow (19th March) at the Railway Gala. Look out for Mr and Mrs Marsh rocking the Sausage Sizzle!

Thought for the week:  Always remember you’re unique — just like everyone else :)
