Mrs Moore's writing class


Check out the talented writing produced earlier this term by the writers in my writing class!  Our theme was ANZACs and the war and our focus was using impact vocabulary to create imagery for our audience.  You'll find all of the poems on the windows of the HQ in the quiet space - check them out next time you are visiting our block.  Enjoy the read...... Mrs Moore 😊

Also on Tuesday, four of our clever chess masters will be competing at Halswell School for the competitive chess competition. Good luck!

On the day, you will be required to come to school fully prepared for a nice walk and with everything you need to swim.

Final house meeting for the term will be held on Thursday.
Cantamaths prep will begin Friday. If any year 7's are interested in joining an after school Cantamaths practice club every Tuesday please let Miss Jakub know.
