Wow, only two weeks to go and it's the holidays! (Yikes, only two weeks to go and so much to do).
The students have been completing their animations of a myth this week. A great opportunity to practice cooperative skills and the key competency of managing time effectively.
Reading has focussed around a 2011 School Journal which is packed full of terrific articles to do with the Rugby World Cup. Their country studies are shaping up nicely with lots of talk around the shared lunch next Monday (October 3rd).
While we were at the museum last week we took in the exhibition of Nigel Brown's art. This week we started planning a piece of our art that reflects his style. These will be well underway next week.
Next week we will also be drafting questions for our section in the inaugural KiwiKwiz which is on Wednesday October 5th. This will be fun night and a chance for students to impress us with all that they have learned around Kiwiana. Please start organising teams of 6, three adults and three students, and enter either by email or with the form in this weeks newsletter.
Order forms for the calendar fundraiser went home today. You can view the art that will be used in the calendar in a folder in Room 7.
Keep up the reading, spelling and basic facts at home, this is making a difference in class. Ask about the secret weapon for learning multiplication facts but shhhhhh, you didn't hear about it here!
