Be caring

Our current focus at school is to be caring.

This includes being caring to people, animals, plants and all other things at school. 

It includes looking after the environment. It means we are kind and helpful, smile and include others, and it means we all have a happy day at school! 😊😊😊

Next week is 'Green Week' at Owairaka so keep an eye on our blogs to see how we keep caring.

Jump Jamming!

Room 16 are part of the year 3 and 4 'Puriri' team at Owairaka. 

We're proud to be Puriri!

The Puriri team are proud of our fitness and physical education. Here are a couple of shots of our first 'Jump Jam' fitness session of the year. Go Puriri! 🙌 🙌 🙌
