Where did THAT time go??? We have been doing a lot of reading this week. As a class, we are reading the book "Refugee" by Alan Gratz. This book is the Chapter Chat Book for Term 1 so more than 100 Year 7 and 8 classes around New Zealand are reading this novel. We will join many of them online via Twitter on Friday morning to discuss the book so far. This story follows three young refugee children; Josef (from 1939 Germany), Isobel (from 1994 Cuba) and Mahmoud (from 2015 Syria). So far the class are really enjoying this novel and it is available for purchase through the latest Scholastic Book Club!
We were lucky enough yesterday (Thursday) to go across to the High School and take part in a fantastic physical education lesson run by the Year 13 students. I have never seen such enthusiasm (or sweaty kids) like I did yesterday. We will return there again next week! Athletics training continues this week as we gear up for the Athletics Day on Wednesday 21st February.
Our class is also complete this week as today we welcome back Alec Mills, our missing Year 8 student who has been traveling in Europe. I look forward to hearing about his trip!
