End of the Term

Where did those 11 weeks go?? The term has all but finished and it has been one full of fun and learning, with the highlight being Camp Iona. We have learned a lot this term and this week we are finishing our Anzac Project, where each student was given an artifact from World War 1 and had to research their artifact, who it represented and their story. This was a fascinating insight into what life was like for these young soldiers and students were very keen to keep working on this. Here are a few samples of our slides

  

We had a visit this week from Detective Kate, who came to talk to the students about cyber safety, cyber bullying and some of the students were quite surprised about how easy it was for their information to get "out there" and how difficult it was to get it back (in fact you CAN NOT get it back). 

Earlier this week we received a package from North Street School in Fielding. We exchanged writing packages with this school and the students were excited to read about our partner school and to share their work on metaphors. We hope to stay in touch with North Street School.

We added to our art wall this week -- Autumn is here (actually I think Autumn has skipped us and gone straight to winter!), students need to remember to bring their school jumpers every day to combat the cold! Next term students are able to wear their track suit pants (plain blue please - no brand logos!). Thursday all students need their formal uniforms for Assembly.

I hope everyone has a fantastic School Holiday break! Stay safe and we will see you back here in two weeks.
