Hi everyone,

Just a quick note explaining the reading homework for the remainder of the term.

Students in Room 5 have started a new reading programme where they are reading a novel/chapter book. Each Day 2, 4 and 6 on our timetable we will be discussing and responding to the chapters students have read. Therefore, It is crucial that students read up to the target chapters. There is some class time available for them to read but it would be helpful to them to read at home too.

The books must be returned at the end of the term.

Thanks,

Steph Bunny

The weather got the better of us today, so our syndicate got right into jump jam for PE to improve our fitness. Teachers were quite impressed with their effort and the their timing!

Movement through the World: In Room 8 this  term we have written Information Reports on a Spanish Speaking country. We are using the Literature Circle format to get deeper into our Reading. The class chose either Viola Vincent Reporting, Boyznbikes or Whale Pot Bay, and they have been enjoying reading and discussing the story.

Adios!

Farewell Room 4 - I have enjoyed working with you this year.  

Continue to get involved, work hard and have fun.

Good luck and take care!  Mrs B!

ROOM 11 TERM 2

Term 2 has started with a bang and we are really busy with our school work.

It's a super busy term, with heaps of us playing winter sports and being involved in school activities.

Here's what's on this term.....  J-Rock in Wellington          27 May

  Reading labels, identifying healthy choices are some of the activities involving Year 8 students this term.

The ever popular 'Packaging Unit' is a great vehicle for getting the students attention and creating comparisons for student assessment.  Making healthy choices is their  mandate.

Options this term sees us making dishes from other countries around the world , gaining experience and understanding the food choices of other cultures.

This term in the Science room we are studying a Geology unit which involves learning about the layers of the Earth, identificating the three main classes of rock and explaining how each is formed. We are also going to be spending time looking at the rock cycle.

The Garden

The school vegetable garden is looking great. We now have the tool shed built and the potting shelter available for students to use.
