Welcome to our wikipage.

Te Atea 3 are a Year 2 & 3 class at Putauaki Full Primary School in Kawerau. There are 13 Year 2's and 8 Year 3's. We belong to the Maori Inrichment Pod, Te Atea. Alongside the New Zealand Curriculum we learn te reo, tikanga and culture of our tipuna Maori.

Term 1 - Ko Au (Me) Term 2 - Whanau (Family) __Term 3 - Papa Atawhai (Environment)__ This term our topic is WORMS. We have built a worm farm, labelled the external and internal organs, compared two different soil types and location, and searched for worm 'Poo'. "Uuuu" i hear you say ! Well, you might look at a worm differently once you understand the important role it plays in our environment. Keep tuned in for more about our topic.

 * Ko Putauaki te Maunga

My name is Janeen Savage (nee Strang). I am a beginning teacher at the end of my 2 year Provisional Registration period. Yay, I can apply for full registration now as my two years ends today. Known to the tamariki as Whaea Janeen I joined Putauaki School at the beginning of the year and am enjoying the teaching and learning journey that Putauaki School is on. My last position was at Merivale School, Tauranga in the Whanau Unit, teaching Year 1-3. And proir to that I worked for 15 weeks at Te Kura o Torere on the East Coast with Year 3-6 tamariki. I am thrilled that I don't have to travel those long distances anymore.
