Week 9 Blogpost

Kia ora e te whānau 

Welcome to Week 9!

Our main focus this week has been speech presentations. We have been so impressed with the quality of writing and the creativity of the presentations. It is so evident that a lot of hard work has gone into these, and we have been thoroughly entertained while learning a range of interesting facts. 

We've also found some time to build up speed in basic facts and demonstrate skill in coding during the Scratch assessment. Lynda Meyer was so impressed that she's going to get her grandson to teacher her how to code in Scratch!

Next week we will move away from assessment and have a break with some creative projects. On Tuesday our Future Problem Solvers will have their 'lockup' competition from 8:45 am to 10:45am. There is also tennis coaching on this day. We will spend our afternoons practising skills for Athletics. Please make sure your child brings appropriate footwear throughout next week.
