Can you believe it's term 3 already? Where has half the year gone?
We have another very busy term ahead, so keep checking our blog weekly!
Thank you to the parents who were able to make the parent/teacher/student conferences. We had a great turn out and your efforts to find out where the children are at with their learning is appreciated. It is a very busy term once again and here is a brief overview of our learning this term.
As part of term two's focus on the Wonders of the World, the Year 8 students worked alongside the rest of the Year 8's in Syndicate One to create a collaborative wiki. Our contribution to the process was to look at some of the Modern Wonders of the World. We worked really hard on this and the final product is pretty incredible and we are really proud of it. Please visit our wiki and have a look and what we and the rest of the syndicate have done here. Please leave some comments for us.

For assessment this term we had to write a formal letter to the Prime Minister of New Zealand. We had to choose a subject area that we felt strongly about. I chose to write a letter about why smoking should be made illegal.
