Ora, Malo e lelei, Bonjour, Kon-Nichiwa, Hola, Talofa.
My name is Selina
Peauafi and I will be your child’s teacher this year. This will be my second
year at St Joseph’s Primary School and I have loved being part of the school
community. I am looking forward to getting to know your child and working
alongside them.
The best way to
communicate with me is via email:
I will send all class

My background

last name I am of Tongan/New Zealand decent. My Dad is Tongan and moved to New
Zealand over thirty years ago. My Tongan roots lie in the village of Longolongo
in Nuku’alofa and Makave in Vava’u. My Mum grew up in Upper Hutt and teaches at
Silverstream School, which is where my seven-year old son Jericho attends.

Homework
A homework
activity will be coming home today, please return this by Thursday.
Homework
sheets will include: Spelling, Basic Facts and a Reading log. This will be coming
home Monday 9 February 2015. It is expected that your child completes weekly
homework, as this supports in class learning. Homework will be issued on a
Monday and is due back to school on Friday.
Reading
Reading books
will be coming home daily starting today. Please make sure your child brings
their book bag to school daily as it protects the books. It will be part of
your child’s morning routine to change their book over everyday. Reading
mileage is important, aim for at least ten minutes every day.
Uniform
The
new uniform is required as of Term 1 2015. Please ensure your child has a wide
brimmed sun hat as these are worn Terms 1 and 4. It is also important that they
have suitable shoes each day to ensure they can fully participate in fitness
and physical education activities. Please make sure all hats and sweatshirts
are named.
Teachers in Room 8
Mrs Thompson will
be teaching in Room 8 for five days a term allowing me to have senior teacher
release time. Mrs Thompson will be teaching on Thursday once a fortnight starting
this week (1, 3, 5, 7, 9). Mrs Thompson is a fantastic, experienced member of the
St Joseph’s staff. The children will enjoy meaningful learning experiences with
her. Mrs Thompson will continue using the Reading, Writing and Mathematics
programme that will be established within the classroom.
