Welcome to 2014!

What an exciting start to the year! A very big welcome to all our new Merrin families. 
Thank you for coming along to our 'Fish and Chip Evening' and our P.T.A Valentine's Picnic.
Our school met together on our first Wednesday for a Mihi Whakatauki. 
Ms Dillon Roberts welcomed all the new children and new teachers to Merrin School. 
Our Kapa Haka group were amazing.
Here we are on our 1st day of school!
Ms Dillion-Roberts loves to come and visit us to hear about all the new activities that we are trying.
 We planted some herb seeds in a special seedling box.
 These herbs will go into our Whetu Gardens.
We also have some tadpoles that we are watching carefully to see how long it will be before they get their back legs.
 At cafe time we made popcorn for the letter 'p'.
 Tessa showed us the money envelopes that she was given as part of her Chinese New Year celebrations. We have more of her photos in our class 'News Book.'
 Here is the amazing Kylie putting our NEW JELLY BEAN TABLE together. Look at those muscles!
 We enjoyed hosting 1st Year Students from the University of Canterbury who came to see what we do in Room 1. They enjoyed reading to us. Thanks!
 Oliver made this fantastic robot at our first Discovery Time of the year.
Here we are dancing to 'Alice the Camel.'
 We are lucky that Vicky is spending 4 weeks with us. She is a teacher trainee from Korea.

We are looking forward to having so much fun this year!
