Workshop

We have been very busy making memory boxes. Read our comments about what we have learned and what we may put in our boxes.

Maori Language Week

Tēnā koutou. Maori Language week has got off to a great start with many of our year 7 and 8 students performing with the juniors during our assembly. This week we are all challenged to use as much te Reo as possible. Leave your comments and cool phrases in our comments. Kia ora

Head's Up Term 3 Get's Underway

Welcome back to term 3. This may be the longest term of the year but it also promises to be one of the most exciting. We kick off with speeches and our Olympic Study. Week 2 will see many of the year 7 and 8 students heading off for their long awaited sports exchange to Raglan. Students will be working hard on Fridays, preparing for sports camp. A big thank you to Jo Cullen who will be working with us from week 3 on developing a cheer. Also thanks goes to Mr Jimmy Bell, Mr Preece and Mrs Sommervile who will be helping us with sports practices on Friday afternoons.

Students will continue to develop Problem Solving Skills in Maths as well as building their knowledge of Fractions and exploring geometry.

After camp we will be undertaking our health unit on Positive Puberty.

We look forward to seeing the first performance by our Kapa Haka group in our Māori Language week Assembly on Monday of week 2.

For now though, students should be working hard on writing and preparing their Speech which will be delivered to the class in week 4.
