From the bush, to the Playwatch monitors, the pool to homework, there's lots to celebrate about our school! Here are the best things about school- according to Kākano!

Have a Happy Easter Chelsea Whānau 🐰 See you all back here next Wednesday 🐣

The Curiosity Container is open! Thank you so much to the PTA and The Board of Trustees for making this dream a reality! This container is filled with lots of incredible equipment to encourage our learners to activate our DNA!

So proud of us! 💜

Reminder ‼️Thursday is World Down Syndrome Day - Rock your socks 🧦 to celebrate diversity with us 💜

Last night we held our composting evening run by the Compost Collective. This was an amazing opportunity to learn about different ways we can compost - something which our Kaitiaki club are focussing on. Kaitiakitanga is one of our Values here at Chelsea and we are proud to be growing our students to be kaitiaki or guardians of our environment 🌱

If you are interested in attending please RSVP to [email protected]. It’s in the staff room and you receive a $40 voucher for a home composting kit if you attend.

Picnic Day is underway! So much fun!

… And a little wild over here!!

The most exciting game of the sporting calendar!

Things are getting a little competitive over here…

The Curiosity Container (loose parts play) is taking shape. Next up, concreting a path and pad, and then filling it with exciting play gear.
Thanks to our PTA and our whānau for your generosity!

Our gorgeous Y6 learners are enjoying their day out at Rainbow’s End today as a big thank you for their contribution and service to our school. We are so proud of you all x

Serious business this morning creating eco art! Not even the rain stops Kākano! Although we might be a bit soggy coming home…

Kākano Hub 1 are off to Kaipātiki today for EOTC- these two came prepared for the journey!

If anyone has lost their little furry friend he/she has been playing in the bush at school.

Happy Diwali!

We are so fortunate to have Jane from Bunnings with us this morning to plant fruit trees with some Y6 learners. These are trees that our Y6 learners can see grow over time when they visit us in years to come.

Thanks so much for our lovely treats today, PTA! They were delicious ❤️

Last night at MERC. Watching a movie before heading off to bed. Check out the dancer in the background!!
Night, night everyone.

It was amazing to hear the great feedback that the AUT instructors had about our Year 5 team! Their problem solving and team work were impressive.

What an absolutely brilliant day! So many activities and not a lot of time to rest. The kids are doing us all proud. Here’s a snapshot of the day. See you tomorrow around 2.00pm.

Brilliant weather for some water relays today!

Our Year 5s are having a fabulous day at AUT Millenium today!

We were grateful to see some sun today. Thoroughly enjoying the fresh sea air.

Another action-packed day at MERC! So proud of how our Tamariki are showing our values and DNA and giving everything a crack!

It’s Teacher/Kaiako Appreciation Day this Friday.

Some of the (many)things I appreciate about our teachers:
- their care and love of our Tamariki
- the way they enquire and dig deep to get the best outcomes for our learners
- their beautiful hearts
- the hours they spend planning trips and experiences, even having sleepovers with 60+ kids 😂 (camp)
- their support of each other - it’s not an easy role at times!
- their focus on growth and being the best teachers they can be
- their vulnerability and bravery
- the way they challenge each other’s practice and beliefs without damage to mana
- the fun and laughs
- their creativity - they never fail to amaze me with the learning experiences they plan.

Please join me in celebrating our phenomenal team!

Bit of a wet day today but the weather is not stopping our ‘up for a challenge’ campers!
