Request for our Sustainability Projects.

 Talofa awesome parents.

This term, Sustainability is the concept that the children's learning will be based around. We are very lucky to learn about terrariums. Terrariums are miniature gardens, housed inside small – and usually sealable – containers like bottles and jars.

As fully functioning (albeit tiny) plant ecosystems, they’re mostly self-sustaining, with the plants watering themselves through transpiration and condensation. Science!

Our request is for any clear plastic or glass jars at home that you are happy to dispose of. We will be creating our own terrariums. Please start sending in your jars or plastic containers in as soon as you can. 


The plants that we would like to put into our terrariums: succulents, moss. If you have an abundance of these at home, we would appreciate some donations too please. 

Thanks.

  Tena koutou. We hope all our mothers were treated with some lovely surprises today. Happy Mother's Day to all our beautiful mothers! Most of our students completed a virtual Mother's Day card. It will be in their google drive account. Please keep in your prayers those children who no longer have their mothers with them. I wanted to thank everyone for the time you took last week to be involved in your child's goal setting for this term. It was a pleasure to see all of my parents and also to meet new parents. Our children looked so charming in their national costumes dressing up for 'Children’s World of Prayer' day. They looked so proud to be part of this. The mini-marathon on Friday was a great day out. It's nice to see our whanau support, running, and cheering on our tamariki thank you. If you haven't filled out the transportation form for the Cross Country day please do so, we will be needing parent support on the day both for transportation and marshalin

  Rm 14/15 2021 Teachers: Tai Waititi and Sophie Bowie Kia Ora Tatou. I’m Tai but in the class setting I am known as Mrs YTT, mama and yes sometimes nana. Teaching makes me feel like a rock star ( which is probably what I want to be when I grow up). Every day, I have children run up to me, giving me hugs, calling my name over and over again as they hear me rocking with our class guitar, Jack. I adore the children I teach and learning new things from them. I am so excited to be their teacher this year. Hello! My name is Sophie, also known as Miss Bowie. I am very excited to be starting a new adventure at St Marys this year after teaching for 4 years at Kawaha Point School. My passions include playing netball, exploring new places, spending time with my friends and whanau, eating lots of delicious food, and of course, teaching. Despite being relatively early on in my career, I’ve already had many “wow moments” with my students, which are memories I will treasure forever. I cannot wait to
