Stoke School ( sarah)

Stoke School is a primary school in Nelson New Zealand. Primary Schools are places for kids aged 5 to 11 or 12 to learn. The subjects are writing,reading,math,topic and spelling. There are three groups of values who help us. Students, teachers and whanau.

  The students job is to learn new things during school hours. they need to ask for help from the teachers and whanau when they need it. They also need to work on their writing and handwriting and to be determined to learn and put effort in every thing you do.We also need to help the younger children in the junior classes.

  The teachers job is to teach the children in the school and look after them in the school grounds. The staff are also for teaching things like reading recovery,hpp,multi lit and student teachers. Reading recovery is for children that need to learn how to read larger words and  have understanding . Hpp is another reading activities but year fives are trained to hep them to read.

  Whanau is your family eg, aunty's ,uncles  and grandparents. They are here to help every one around the school. They help us by coming on school trips and volunteering for teaching music, swimming and reading.We also have relieving teachers. Relieving teachers are for when your original teacher has other jobs to do or is sick. Swimming coaches are people who teach us how to back stroke breath stroke and free style. Trips are when the whole school goes to a beach and has a swim and a sausage and bread.

  Now I hope you know what Stoke School is . Its a place were lots of people come together to help children to learn.
