Covid 19 delayed the start date of many of our 5 year olds and Teachers to Owairoa Primary. Finally however, the 25th May saw the return of Mrs Seekup and Mrs Pieterse to Owairoa Primary to start the first two Year 0 classes for 2020. Both are experienced teachers. They are excited about providing the New Entrant children with the best start to their schooling life.
Our New Entrant teachers work hard to create a caring place for our five year olds as they start their educational journey. Mrs Seekup’s class in G5 have been fortunate to have had Miss Teed working alongside them until she starts a Year 0 class of her own in G6 at the beginning of Term 3.
The students have settled into Owairoa quickly and are enjoying the challenges that school brings. They have been able to understand classroom routines and expectations and make some new friends. Many children are very proud of the fact that they are able to come into school by themselves in the mornings. They have been very good at maintaining good hygiene when at school.
We look forward to Term 3 and doing activities that will celebrate the many different cultures in our classrooms.
