Nga mihi nui to all of our families for their amazing support throughout this year! We have loved teaching your children (and we mean that!) and want to thank you all so very much. We feel very grateful to be teaching at an incredible school, in a fantastic community.
Have a great Christmas and safe, enjoyable summer holiday!
See you in 2021.

Children in Turama organised a Christmas market for today. They organised a wide range of stalls such as puppet show, face painting, day spa, mystery box, scavenger hunt and many more. All the children in Ramaroa Iti and Nui were invited to come and enjoy the fun. What a fantastic way to finish off the year! Well done team!
Here is a link to the presentations for the Tasman District Council project that Turama took part in. The children put a lot of time and effort into these and were very proud of them.

It is important to look after all the things that make Tasman a great place to live, learn, and play in.
The school competition There is no place like home gives our young people a chance to tell us what makes Tasman awesome, and what could make it even better. They can choose to tell their story using photos, drawings, paintings, collages, words... or a mix of things.
There is no place like home is open to primary and intermediate schools across the district. All entries will go in a draw for school spot prizes.
Each Friday we have our Tuakana Teina time (big buddies and little buddies). Turama space is hosting the cooperative games area and here are some photos from today's session. This is a great time for our older students to show care and leadership for our younger students, and fantastic for building across-school relationships.
Thank you to all the children who performed in tonight's Showcase - it was a great night and awesome entertainment! A huge thank you and well done to Odie and Cushla for their amazing teaching throughout the year! Here are some pics featuring Turama children:
Turama has been doing a Performing Arts rotation: music, drama and dance. All students participated in three lessons of each. What a creative bunch of students we have! They blew us away with their abilities to cooperate as a team and come up with some very creative dances, body percussion and drama performances.
