PLAYSCHOOL CLASS – MS MATUI & MS RUTERA:

Hello and welcome to the Playschool class.
The children are slowly settling down with a few still crying in the morning. The playschool children love to play with the play-dough and legos. They also love to paint. We have big and small lunches.

For our full-day students please pack a small pillow, an extra
change of clothes, and a towel to freshen them up before
home time. They will start normal lessons next week once
everyone has settled down.

Thank you!
Ms Matui and Ms Rutera – Class Teacher & Assistant

PRESCHOOL CLASS – MS. HEAGI & MR. PAUL:

Hello and welcome to our Preschool class. They have settled in well but only a little bit of crying, otherwise all are good. Our theme for this term is “Amazing Me.” We have lots of work
ahead of us!

Reminders:
Full-day students please parents pack extra clothes. A towel for a refresh after nap time.

Thank you and God bless.

Hello everyone!
