Kia ora koutou
There’s a lot of energy around the school this week as we’ve returned after the break and it’s been great hearing about what everyone got up to over the holiday. We were lucky with the weather, a nice change after the last couple of weeks we had in term two for sure!
There’s lots of exciting things happening this term. Already around the school I’ve seen experiments taking place as we begin our focus on science, with lots of exciting learning happening in the classes. Each class had their photo taken on Thursday to record how long their shadows were. Students made predictions as to whether shadows will stay the same or become shorter/longer. We’ll repeat this in the last week to compare, and see if predictions were correct.
Also on this term is Polyfest and our winter adventure day which we’re already looking forward to. This day takes quite a bit of planning so if you could return the notice sent home earlier in the week by Tuesday next week it would be greatly appreciated.
Next week we have our Learning Hui on Tuesday and Wednesday. But, we begin the week on Monday with the New Zealand Navy Band coming to perform. They are meant to be here around 12:30 setting up, and performing from 1:00. If you’re able to, you are most welcome to come along to enjoy.
Have a great weekend, I hope to see you next week.
