Wow....time has gone so fast - Week 2 has gone already! We had a short week as we celebrated Waitangi Day. Students were able to get online this week and find interesting information about Waitangi Day and its significance. They came up with some great information such as over 500 chiefs signed the Treaty.
This week we also explored Collective Nouns. Students were in fits of laughter when they found out that you could have ...
- A pickle of Porcupines
- A Tower of Giraffes
- An Army of Frogs
- A Circus of Puffins
This week we will begin reading a book called "Refugee" by Alan Gratz and then take part in Chapter Chat, which is a collective project throughout New Zealand. Our students will get to share their ideas and thoughts on this book with more than a hundred other Year 7/8 classes around the country via Twitter. The account is set up and monitored by teachers, so be assured that students will not be using social media on their own!!
It was great to meet so many parents and share thoughts, ideas and goals with them about their child's education. For those few who have been unable to attend, please get in touch and we can make a time to suit to get these important goals set and to share how we can best meet your child's needs.
Rosebank School will also be taking part in the Kelloggs promotion at New World. Check out our Facebook Page for information! The more you shop, the more books we can get - who doesn't like that?? |
