The week started with a great event organised by Mrs Dykstra: TOP TEAM:
MONDAY
We were sorted into groups and had to rotate around 11 different stations which had challenging activities to do.
WELL DONE to all of the house captains and School council members who helped throughout the day.
Huge congratulations go to George for his outstanding efforts with everyone throughout the day. He received a Principals Award for his work.
TUESDAY:
TEACHERS: dressed up as Famous people who have come across challenge in their lives.
Mrs Ewen and Miss Love were Sir Ed Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. What were the challenges that they had during their lives. This was a great ignition to our new inquiry. More about this as the term passes.
DUATHLON: On Monday, we have 4 students from Room 19 who are competing in the Canterbury Duathlon at Ruapuna Speedway. GOOD LUCK to George, Daniel, MIchael F and Katie.
We watched an awesome short clip on Friday. Check it out: What do you think it is about?
WRITING: We have been writing letters which are similar to those from the book: "The Day the Crayons Quit"
