Kia Ora Kākano Whanau

I am missing you all very much! We were just really starting to come together as a class! I hope that you are surviving Lockdown with your families! Regardless of how grateful we know we are in New Zealand, remember it is normal to have mixed feelings and emotions while in Lockdown. Feel free to contact me if need be.

Here are a few photos from Mrs Trasks first couple of days in lockdown:












Below is a message from Mrs Thomson regarding our precious first chick and and update about the eggs in the incubator!

"When we received the news about lockdown we were very worried about the eggs in the incubator that were due to hatch.  Mrs Mareroa and Mrs Thomson decided to head to school to collect them.  

Luckily we did because the Thomson family woke to a very excited Alana and three new chicks.  When we took these chicks out to join fuzzy wuzzy (the 1st chick to hatch) we noticed another starting to crack through.  We will keep you informed if we get another chick.


We are so disappointed that we can not share this amazing experience together at school but wanted to share this news with you all.  We know that you have all been  patiently waiting for 21 days to see the chicks"

We miss seeing you all at school.

Take care of your families and stay safe.

Mrs Trask
