Kia ora o te whānau
The term is racing by. We will be in Week 7 next week with only 3 weeks till the holidays. Half the class had a very long day on Thursday attending the Inspire Conference. I have heard they all had a fantastic time, learning many interesting things. I have been thrilled with the Conservation Reports that have been written in class over the last 2-3 weeks. There is some very clever and insightful thinking going on, which hopefully will help the survival of our planet in years to come as these young people get older. We are now moving onto Narrative Writing, using strong vocabulary and powerful sentences. Have a look at our blog page https://cas6and7s.weebly.com/ if you are interested in seeing the Success Criteria. This week our class has a tennis lesson with David Lewis on Tuesday and again the following week on Thursday. On Wednesday 19 September there is a chess competition at Motupipi School. We are able to send 4 Year 5-6 students and 4 Year 7-8 students. We are trying to encourage our keen chess players to brush up their skills so they are ready to enter. Please play at home and help your students to improve their skills. We are at present trying to work out who our best players are. For homework we would like the students to be learning their spelling words, reading for at least half an hour per night and practising their times tables. They should be bringing home their new spelling list in their notebook on Monday night, and returning it to school on Friday ready for their spelling test. Thank you to those who have helped out on trips lately and for all your home support. Please get in touch if you need more information or have any concerns. Ngā mihi nui nā, Alison Menary and Lyndon Clark
