After School Reading Programme – Thank you!

Hello Room 8 Whānau!

We wanted to share the wonderful experience we’ve had with our afterschool reading programme, led by our across COL teacher, Fatima Dollie. This programme has been an incredible opportunity for our tamariki to develop a love for reading, and it’s been made extra special because of the amazing support from our parents and caregivers who have joined us every week.

Seeing our parents sitting with their children, exploring new stories, and sharing the joy of reading together has been truly heartwarming. This commitment has shown just how much of a difference we can make when we work together as a community, supporting each other’s learning and growth.

A big thank you goes out to Duffy Books in Homes for providing us with fantastic books to read, and to Kings College and Bells Transport for helping us make this programme possible. Their support has made it easier for our students to have access to these valuable resources and has allowed us to share the magic of books with everyone involved.

We look forward to continuing this journey of reading, learning, and sharing stories together. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this programme. Let’s keep reading, Room 8!
