Kia Ora,
My name is Vanessa Belsham known as Miss B to the Tauwhare School community. I am thrilled to be back full time this year as the Year 5 teacher at Tauwhare School and to be a part of your childs learning journey in Room 2. I have been a qualified teacher, with a Bachelors degree in teaching Primary for the past 14 years and have completed all of my teaching practise in Country Schools. I am also a mum to 3 children of my own aged 4, 8 and 10 which has added to my enthusiasm for children and their learning.
I am passionate about teaching your children (tamariki) and scaffolding their learning to become confident, enthusiastic, proud life long learners. Learners who understand how to manage them selves and continue their love of learning.
In Room 2 we are developing an environment where your children (tamariki) take ownership and care for their learning and the work that they produce. A place where they know they are part of a team and are able to show respect for themselves and others with how they behave a relate to others within not only the classroom but the playground as well.
I am excited to see you all again for another great year. Please feel free to pop in to Room 2 anytime or email to set up a time to meet.

The Water Cycle
The Water Cycle
In Room 2 we have been learning about 'The Water Cycle' and the worlds water.
As part of this we created a collaborative art piece. As a team the students' had to help plan and work in small groups to paint their water cycle. They then had to come together to check that the paint colours matched and that the whole cycle worked together.
Once it all came together it is a clear representation of the water cycle.
Working collaboratively on our water cycle art. A lot of discussions were had about what needed to go where and how the cycle would work.
