Last week we had a great ime at the Life Education caravan. We learnt about our bodies and the functions of the major organs, good nutrition - fuelling our bodies and finally about making decisions and what influences these decisions.
"If we are old enough to make a decision we are old enough to accept the consequences - good or bad"
Please encourage the girls to tell you about the influences, where they can go to get information so they can make informed decisions.
This week we have a visit from the health nurse going over 'issues and questions" the girls' may have - she will also cover information about the Y8 HPV vaccination.
Wednesday - Swim Sports!!! We will be walking up to the pool at 10.00ish and the children will be dismissed from there at approx 2:45. Discuss with your child what they are to do - walk, get picked up, bike etc... If anyone has to return for a bus please let me know and we will arrange it.
Please try and wear some house colours - Cameron - Yellow, Blyth - Blue, Hopper -Red, Wright - green.
Our science investigation topic is Ginger Beer - The girls will work in small groups to make the 'best' ginger beer. They will also have to design labels and packaging to market their product.
The girls are working hard on their basic facts - 3x and 4x have been the focus - now we will consolidate our 2x and 5x this week. Please do some spontaneous 'quizzing' on all we have covered.
A request for magazines for collage work please. Last week the year 7's worked on a piece of art based on Henri Matisse.
A great thanks to all those students who have their morning program and homework ready - it is really interesting and we are learning lots!
Next week - Walk and Wheels - A competition for everyone to try and walk and/or wheel to school. Even if you catch a bus - walk / bike to the bus stop as this counts!!! We want to win the class competition - so get it organised!!!
