Hello new Room 13 learners and your parents and caregivers.
Welcome to Room 13, the best classroom in our school. We have our own private deck which gives us a view across middle flat where the other three classes in our team are. We can see town and even cars going over the Claudelands Bridge.
We start the year with 28 students - a mix of Year 2 and Year 3.
I am Ms Jones. Ko Olive toku ingoa. Here are some things about me, including some of the things I love:
I have one child - a daughter who has just had her first child, also a daughter.
I have two chickens and a cat.
I love doing art. I especially like making prints and drawing.
I love gardening. Our class will be great gardeners by the end of the year if they aren't already!
I love nature and do my best to look after our planet.

I am good at telling stories.
I love having a laugh.
I believe learning should be exciting and fun so I try to make it that way.
Parents - please come and introduce yourselves and tell me something about yourself and your family. We will swim every day so please send togs and a towel to school with your child. I encourage them to leave them at school for the week and take them home on Friday We can dry them on our deck.
Please come and introduce yourself to me. I am interested to know about you and your family.Your child will bring home a sheet with questions about themselves and their family. Please help them fill it in and return to school. This is part of our Turangawaewae unit we start the year with which helps us to get to know each other.
