Hi there all. Week 1 has been and gone. It is great to see all the students back and mostly on task. Some take a few more days to switch back into school/classroom mode but by the end of the week we were back on track.
Science Enrichment began on Tuesday with positive feedback given by the students after their sessions. The first practical session is always a bit messy with the timing and facitilies but from now on it will be smooth sailing.
On Friday we went down to the camp where we will be staying. It is well laid out and well set up. What I will say now and many times before we go. The children will need lots of warm clothing. It is Dunedin in the 3rd day of Spring so it could be very cold. There will be more lots more correspondance later but if you have any questions feel free to contact me at school.
We have student, parent, teacher interviews in Week Three (Tuesday & Wednesday). Steve has set up the system and will send you the passwords and information next week. These interviews will involve your child talking about their good results, not so good results, relationships, work ethic etc. I see these interviews as very helpful and insightful.
If you can't make the interview times feel free to contact me and we will make other arrangements.
Mrs Best will be taking the class on Wednesday (for 4 weeks) due to Mr Smith being laid low after an operation.
On Wednesday and Thursday the houses will do battle once again. This time it is in the field of General Knowledge. There will be about 90 questions over two lunchtimes to find the champions of 2012. Once the quiz is over and marked I will put the questions here to see how you would go. The topics of the questions are Art and Literature, Geography and Travel, Sport and Leisure, History and Politics, Entertainment, and Science and Nature. Hopefully (depending on time) we will have at least one more interhouse competition. It could be soccer or netball.
Cheers
Hamish
