This week, Mrs Staniford received some persuasive writing letters from Room 7 ākonga. They ranged from wishing for a school disco, and bringing your 'wheels' to school, to wearing your slippers in class! 🪩 🛴 🥿 However, Mrs Staniford's reply surprised everyone!


I arrived at my office to find a display of 18 pieces of persuasive writing from Room 7. How wonderful it was to receive the thoughts of our youngest students on ways to improve their school experience.

I enjoyed reading about their future aspirations, and the ways they have identified to make their goals happen.

Ka pai, Room 7 - I know you’ll help mould the future of our fabulous school. This is my response to the class.
