Solway Primary School must be proud of this group of Year 4 and 5's (age 8 and 9).
Simona, their teacher (pictured below), describes them as "bubbly and bright" and says she really missed them over COVID lockdown. "Zoom just wasn't the same," she said.
Simona started her career as an ECE teacher but went back to Massey to retrain extramurally to become a Primary School teacher. "It is a neat age," she said.
"The children are all so interesting and you can develop great personal relationships with all the individual kids."
Kowhai is a class of 28 - 18 of them boys. The thank you cards and hearts they have made for hospital staff all include personal stories, showing the thought and care that the children put into their work.
"Dear Nurses, thank you for fixing my mums collar bone by putting a metal plate in her," one wrote.
"Thank you for saving me when I was a baby and turned purple," another says.
"Thank you for helping when I burned myself,"
"Thank you for helping when I fell off my motorbike and had concussion,"
"Thank you for taking care of my great granny."
And some very kind, broad messages of thanks to the team:
"Thank you for helping people feel better when they are sick. You are doing very well with COVID 19. I hope you don't get COVID." (We hope you don't too, Florence!).
"Thank you for helping with COVID - we are so glad to have you."
THANK YOU, KOWHAI. It is a privilege to help you and your families stay well.
From all of us at Wairarapa DHB xx
