Miss Kimi Welcome to Room 13 Miss Kimi. We all wish the best for our class this year and you will for sure make this happen. We all love how you are strict, but still make learning fun! You have made a great impression on Room 13 all ready, image our class a few months done the track. Sadly Room 13 lost Miss Smyth as a teacher and we all will miss her dearly. Luckily our school has still keep Miss Smyth on, as she is a lovely young lady and full of life. Her talent has left us stunned and we will never forget the fun she taught us. Golden Time was always a wonderful treat at least once a week. Zink was also a bright highlight for us students and not to mention for our class bankers! Also with the Zink, there was a “ Zink Market Day” created as an opportunity to experience the big wide world of money, but in our version it was Zink. Thanks to Miss Smyth for creating this for us. Room 13 has had a great reliever experience will Miss Kimi. As a class we all learnt Sign Language while Miss Kimi was in here for a week. That week also happened to be New Zealand Sign Language Week nationwide. Miss Kimi knows a lot about other cultures and has shared with us her great knowledge of the world. Further Miss Kimi knows bucket fills of different languages. Thanks so much to Miss Smyth for building up Room 13 and thanks to Miss Kimi who is going to continue our class.
