Term 2, Week 5 2018

Wow, it's almost half way through the term already!  Winter sport has started - we are two weeks in and the students seem to be enjoying their chosen sport - pity about the weather on Friday - here's hoping there's not too many more Fridays like that!

Seussical Jr auditions are almost complete with our final call backs this week for the lead roles.  We are just so proud of all the students who have put themselves out there and auditioned.  We hope to have the key lead roles decided this week, and then minor lead roles next week.  We are aiming to put the musical on in the last week of Term 3 - confirmed dates will come soon.

We are having a major focus on Science this term.  Students have rotated round the four teachers and experienced a variety of experiments.  We have just launched the Science Fair which all students will complete - some of this at school and some at home.  I will endeavour to send through the information we give the students so you know what is going on.  At this stage students are just deciding on their question and hopefully have talked at home about what they could do.  Next week (week 6) we will be taking the students (in different groups) to the University of Canterbury where they will be introduced to working in a proper science lab.

This week is a Teacher Only Day on Friday and Monday is Queen's Birthday which is a public holiday.  School will not be open for the children on either of these days.
