Week 7 - Remember the speeches!
Week 6 review.
Another successful week from Room 6 children as the girls cycling team finished 3rd in the Year 7 North Island Champs. Congrats Chloe, Katelyn, Hirani and Lily (Lily also 9th in the individual road race).
Hirani collected her 4th winners medal in the local cyclocross competition and Lily and Chloe competed in the NZ Duathlon champs - finishing as 4th team in the Year 7 category.
The hockey players finished second in their local competition and we have a number of children still in contention for rugby reps.
The children made a major effort in Mathletics. The top 3 girls were Phoebe, Chloe and Lily N who pipped the top 3 boys (Cameron B, Shae and Blake). There were some large points totals and wonderful learning discussions taking place at school.
Week 7
This week in language, we will be writing sports reports using '3rd person' and working on our understanding of length and area in maths. We also have a 'financial literacy' session on Friday afternoon with ASB.
SPEECHES - Children will also be preparing their speeches. These 3-4 minute presentations will take place in week 8 with the final in week 9.
The Hiwi the Kiwi writing competition had 2 runners up from Room 6 (Max and Jack) with well written personal experiences that included the key messages. The overall winner of the fishing rod and reel was LilyS-E with an entertaining quatrin poem. All examples should be available on theiir personal blogs.
And remember. . .
Cross Country week! Let's hope that the weather clears up for the event on Wednesday afternoon. Wear House colours to support your team!
