I hope everyone has had a good break and you have been able to do some things as a family. I have enjoyed being with my wife and children around Christchurch. Unfortunately my Uncle, who is my Dad's only brother, died last weekend and I had to fly out to the funeral in Brisbane. I was therefore not back in Team 7 till Wednesday last week. Judy Anstey, who taught at Fendalton a few years ago, was in Team 7 for Monday and Tuesday. On Monday we also welcomed Miles Kaukau who took the class for Soap Carving for the day. It was a fantastic day of singing, stories and Maori culture as well as carving. Children often rate this day as one of the best of the year!
Week 10 Term One
It seems a long time ago...we finished our Poetry (visual language) books ready for assessment, we had the Cross Country on Thursday and many of the class did very well. Special mention to a few...Annabelle who was 2nd in the 9/10 years 3 laps race, Logan who was 3rd in the 9 years boys 3 lap race and Georgia who was 2nd in the 8 years girls 2 lap Championship race. All three make the School Team for the West Zone Championships on Thursday 14 May. The Table Tennis trials were completed and three out of the four children chosen for the two teams were from Team 7! Well done to Moss, Ben C and Maddison. Obviously having a table in the class has benefits!
Week One
Last week we had Soap Carving all day on Monday and Mrs Anstey in Team 7 for Monday and Tuesday. We visited the library on Wednesday and started some work on the Dewey Decimal sysytem. We sang our "UN Hapu" song at the Senior Assembly on Friday and had the first of our Winter sport trials are also.
