Newsletter Term Three Week 2

Hi and welcome to Week Two for Term 3

It was great to see all the children again last week and hear about their exciting holidays and see them all working together for the week. It was great to welcome Justin Makinson from the University PE Teacher training group.

Please order your Wearable Arts tickets as it will be a great show and rthe children have worked very hard at theior pieces of art and at our class dance to introduce NZ Personalities. The Kapa Haka group has also practised hard as well as BEN J who is one of the main presenters.

Also, please return any West Zone Sports notices if you can help out next Tuesday.

Week One
This week we completed an Oral/Visual presentation in class in preparation for individual presentations over the next six weeks. We started a Badminton unit, prepared for our dance for the Wearable Arts and prepared our wearable arts. We looked at Antonyms and Synonyms in spelling and more statistic in Maths. We met with our buddy class, sang a song about heroes and started a new shared novel by Andy Griffiths.

Week Two
This week we will finalise our NZ Personalities class dance and our pieces of Wearable art. We will do some sewing of our dance costume (black NZ Silver fern singlets) and we will have lots of Senior School W.A. practices, Kapa Haka practices, model practices etc. So it will be very busy! We will also have two badminton lessons.

Newsletter Term Three Week 10

Hi and welcome to Week One for Term 3

Hi everyone and welcome back to Term Three in Team 7.

I hope you all had a good break and most of you are over end of term sickness. I was sick for all of the first week of the break and still have a bit of a cough but am ready to get into a full term. The rest of my family has been a little sick too so the break was mainly spent at home recovering!

This term is going to be action-packed with the Wearable Arts, Winter Sports Tournaments, Badminton, Oral/Visual Presentations, Rotary Speech competitions, Student Led Conferences and more.....

We welcome Mr Makinson from the University of Canterbury for the next four weeks. He is a trainee P.E. teacher. Unfortunately we say farewell to two Team 7 members who are moving schools. All the best to Michelle and Grace, we will miss both of you in Team 7.

Week Ten Term Two
The last week of term week we had our Levels spelling tests with many children going up a level. We finished some more of our science experiments and our football teaching from the CGHS girls was completed. We had a class meeting and the opening of the Junior Playhouse and a mufti day. Mrs Coats took us for more print-making and we looked at Statistics in the Room 7 maths class - including some Jelly Bean maths!

Week One Term Three
This week we will complete an Oral/Visual presentation in class in preparation for individual presentations over the next six weeks. We will start a Badminton unit, prepare for our dance for the Wearable Arts and prepare our wearable arts. We will start some Expositional writing and look at Antonyms and Synonyms in spelling.
