Term 4

Welcome back from the holidays. We have all enjoyed a couple of weeks off school and are straight back into it for the last term of this year. There are heaps of exciting things happening this term, such as:

• Art Week in week 4
• swimming starts after Labour Weekend
• Thorndon Fair on the 3rd December
• the Speech competition in week 5
• the Year 8 Leavers dinner
• and much more...

Our inquiry unit this term is "Parihaka and the Peace Movement" which is going to be a fantastic opportunity to learn about New Zealand history. We have also started the Speech Making unit. Watch this space for more on these topics.

If you would like to do some extra work at home on maths, here is a great link to a webpage with lots of activities which tie in with the Numeracy Project we are doing at school: http://www.nzmaths.co.nz/families/Activities.aspx
