HNI Tech Taster 3






Week 6

LAST WEEK

Congratulations to Shae who competed in the New Zealand Ju Jitsu Champs last weekend and came away with an enormous gold medal.  (photo coming)

Congrats also to the Room 6 duathlon competitors from Sunday.  Two teams only 3 seconds apart after 18km of running and cycling.  Very impressive!


THIS WEEK

We have the Lit Challenge taking place on Wednesday.  Several Year 6 children will be chosen to compete against other schools in our coastal cluster.

The Room 6 girls cycle team are attending the North Island Intermediate Champs in Taupo on Friday.  Two team members will also take part in the NZ duathlon Champs on the Sunday.  Good luck girls.

ASB NZ Mathletics Challenge is on and Room 6 will be spending some class time and their spare minutes competing against themselves and students from around New Zealand online.

We will be preparing speeches for delivery to the class towards the end of next week.  Details of the topic have been shared with the children in class and are available on Google Drive.  Check out the topic and help your child with their decisions.

Week 4

Thank you to all the parents and relations who attended our first student led learning conference last week.  I thought it was a great evening and the children certainly enjoyed sharing their learning.

Good luck to all the choir children as they perform in the Kidsing event this week.  There have been lots of practises and they are sounding fantastic.

The 2 interschool hockey teams are playing on Wednesday afternoon and have shown a big improvement in skills at practice over the last few weeks.

This week is New Zealand Maths week and the children will be involved in a range of online and book challenges both at home and in class.  Ask them to show some of the activities that are available at
www.nzmathsweek.org.nz

We will have a visit from HNI students this Thursday.  They will be sharing their thoughts on transitioning to intermediate with the class. 

Next week there is the Open Evening at HNI on Tuesday night and we have the final 'tech taster' on Wednesday morning.  Newsletters out soon.

Haave a great week.
