    School Visits

    We will contact you approximately one month before your child is due to start school to arrange some school visits.

    Your child should have at least 3 visits prior to starting school.  Transition school visits happen on Tuesday and Wednesday  mornings. Please note:  You will be required to wear a mask in the studio under Alert Level 2 (just you, not your child). Again contact the office  on admin@rawhiti.school.nz or phone 388-9519 to advise what dates you will be here visiting.  Please sign in and out at the office when you come to visit.

     Suggested Visiting Plan:

    • 3 weeks before starting (one or two visits) from 8.30am – 9.45am;
    • 2 weeks before starting (one or two visits) from 8.30am – 11.20am (bring morning tea);
    • 1 week before starting (one or two visits) from 8.30am – 12.15pm (bring morning tea).

     

    Our morning timetable is:

    8.30am      Active Play

    9.00am      Roll is sent to the office 

    9.20am      Hui

    9.45am      Reading – Pānui 

    10.40am    Play – Takaro – 1st Break Time

    11.00am    Eating together in the classroom – Wā Whānau Kai

    11.20am    Writing – Tuhituhi

    12.15pm    Play – Takaro – 2nd Break Time 

    Please bring your child’s ‘All about me’ booklet to their visit, as it helps us to get to know them. Children only need to wear their uniforms to their visits if they would like to. As our children don’t wear their shoes inside, we have a shoe stand outside our studio. Visits can be a great time for you to teach your child how to take off and put on their shoes independently. 

    Although you will need to stay ‘on site’ during your child’s visits, you are able to leave the studio to go to have a cuppa in the staffroom or read a book in our library. You might want to ‘mix it up’, so that they have some visits with you staying with them but also some visits where they get to experience it by themselves but know you’re still close at hand.

     Find out about the Rongo-mā-tāne teachers

    There are currently five teachers in Rongo-mā-tāne : Lisa, Nicole, Michelle and Rachel (Marcella on Mondays). Your child’s kaiāwhina group is called Tī Kōuka.  Michelle and Nicole will be your child’s teachers.

     Class website 

    You’ll be able to find more info about Rongo-mā-tāne on our class site. The ‘info for whānau’ section will probably be the most valuable to you. There’s even some videos about morning jobs, active play and hui for your child to watch. 

     Please send any questions about the transition to school  that you may have to admin@rawhiti.school.nz.
