This is the time in holidays when I get excited with the anticipation of a new school year and what it will bring. Everyone by now should have had a reasonably good break and be thinking ahead to school and who will be their teacher and in their class for the year. Will there be any new students, any new teachers and how hard will the work be?
Last year I learned about blogging and found out two essential things to maintain a successful blog;
1. feedback and encouragement from others with their comments
2. a regular time set aside to blog so people will actually keep checking
SO I have set a personal goal to try harder with my blogging but I need your help!! I need feedback and possible questions - to allow me to respond otherwise you , may simply get to hear about my latest issue or bugbear.
I am hopeful that 2009 will bring us all lots of wonderful learning experiences, memories and moments that will contribute to an even better year than 2008, and it was pretty spectacular.
I look forward to learning alongside staff, students, parents and whanau of Waimataitai.

Hi miss culhane its casidy and rhiannon jst wanted to say this is the best school we have been to and this is the first comment we have posted successfully how were your holidays.
I thought I would respond to start the 'blogging' ball rolling. I do see blogging as a useful way for parents to tune in to what is happening in the school, especially for parents who may not always make it in past the school gate for whatever reason. I also see blogging as an opportunity to start a thread of discussion. So here goes... I am a little concerned that Learning Team 2 hasn't made it to the pool yet for their swimming programme and may not this week either. This situation leads to the question of whether the remaining sessions would be of any educational value. For children who are fortunate to gain swimming instruction outside of a school programme it may not be such an issue. However for those children who only gain instruction through school programmes it does pose a concern. I wander for future planning whether Learning Team 2 could be programmed to travel to Century Pool where delivery of lessons is not affected by weather. Learning to swim is a skill for life and every child deserves an opportunity. I do accept that this is a shared responsibility. Lets see if my blog sinks or swims!
Lots of fun.I hope thier good Wai-learnars here.Ella
