Week 1 - Done and Dusted!
And it really was a crazy, busy, buzzy one!
Tuesday - Back into it! We began creating holiday Wordles - we will publish these on our page soon! We began the summer TAS rotations (Tuesday afternoon sports).
Wednesday - Tuning In for Nga Tangata O Aotearoa & Technicraft - only 6 weeks so we need to make the most of it!
Thursday - Art focus with a maths spin (pictures up when they are complete - Mrs Syme has taken us through the steps to produce fantastic final pieces!)
Friday - Right Choice Day with Rhymthm Interactive, followed by a Dog obedience display, followed by Pet Day!! The rain put a bit of a damper on the day for the lamb and calf entries but everyone stayed positive and made the best of things.

And that was the week to kick start the term!

TUNING IN - TERM 4!
Our teachers are a little 'loolaa' from time to time! But it's all in aid of helping us learn and tuning us into our theme for the term.
Today we took a closer look at the Treaty of Waitangi and the Middle and Senior Team teachers re-enacted the history of the Treaty to help give us clarify our understanding of this important and monumental document.
We still have a lot of questions though. We will publish our questions on our 'Awe and Wonderment' wall and endeavour to answer them over the next 6 or 7 weeks.

(Big thanks to the teachers in the team for being such great sports!!)

Term 4 - What's Coming Up?
Well - we need to fit 20 weeks of work into 8 SO we will be very very very busy! Luckily we are all mentally and physically tough enough to handle hard work!
We have:
*The Interactive Drum Group on Friday morning followed by Pet Day in the afternoon.
*YMCA continues to provide us with quality lessons based on the skills of athletics every Monday.
*Many of us have 'pre-tests' at the high schools we are enrolled in for 2012!
*Cluster Cross Country is in week 3.
*As a part of our Nga Tanagata O Aotearoa theme we will be studying and visiting our local Marae.
*We will be being assessed for the final stage of our progressive report for 2011.
*We are organising some fun-filled kindy buddy class activities.
*Oh and Miss Gee just reminded us - we will be readers, writers and mathematicians as well!
"Are you sure we can fit that all in Miss G?"

**CROSS COUNTRY**
Miss G went over the course last night and decided it was 'perfect' so as long the weather played ball we were good to go!
And - Yeehah - it all went ahead - and quite frankly the weather conditions couldn't have been better.
Students (well most students) put in a 100% effort and some have earnt themselves as place in the Cluster Event - which is in Week 3 next term!
If you think that may be you - make sure you keep up your training regime throughout the holidays! We will have a 2km run off in the school grounds to finalise your place in Week 1.
Photos will follow!
Kai pai to all the fabulous helpers!
Key Competency: Participating and Contributing.

I know Room 8 had a fabulous time and leart alot! Here are some of the photos I took (that was my official title: Chief Photographer!)
