Term 1 Week 5!!

HI Everyone!! 
 

We welcome 3 new students into the Class this week - they have come from Christchurch and are joining us for a while. Thoughts are with everyone who has family and friends in CHCH.

RED and BLACK day tomorrow - bring a donation to the CHCH Earthquake!!! 

Super swimming sports and many thanks to those parents who helped out with lessons and on the swimming sports day. 

 This week we are beginning our own statistical investigation - prepare to be surveyed!! We are also looking at a famous person and their qualities / skills / values and attributes that helped make them famous. 

Our Kiwi Kwiz is going great - brain teaser this week -

‘I have six colours and billions of different looks’.



Mathletics is all up and running, every girl should have brought home a parent letter where you can REGISTER and check on progress. I have assigned everyone 2/3 tasks they must complete (on statistics) before they can unlock games.  Please do 20 mins a night minimum this week on mathletics if possible. it is WORLD MATHS DAY on 1 March and for the entire week there are many games to play and try to score points with. 

The RIB-IT folder will come home this week - please sign for February and make a comment about how their reading is going at home. Hopefully girls are spending time 20 mins reading in bed at night or at some other time.

The Tri Nations Trophy!!

The World Cuo - Soon to add NZ name on the engraving!!

Last week we had a Lit Quiz - questions all about books. I am putting together 2 tems to travel to Dunedin on Friday 25 March to compete in the Regional Lit Quiz. More details will follow for those students selected.

 Keep up the great work with the uniform looking smart girls  - reminder about regulation polar fleece!

We have had Sue in talking about pubertal issues and also to the Y8's about the HPV Vaccine. Please read the info and return form - ASAP - Thursday at the latest!.

The Honours Board this Week!!
