Hi there all,
This time of year is CRAZY! We all know it is coming, we can see it, we have planned for it, but it is still CRAZY! Recently a line from one of the best rock groups ever came to mind that seems to sum up the second half of the term "Running to stand still".
The prize giving on Tuesday .... no Wednesday was a great chance to celebrate and show off skills. Each team did really well. It was great to see all of the Year 7/8 team on stage dancing to Greased Lighting. They did really well due to the time frame and the space to dance in.
Huge congratulations to the Year 8 prize winners. They were all fully deserved. This year we introduced an award for the House Leaders due to their growing responsibilities. They have had a lot more to do and organise this year. Each house was lead by competent students.
KEA WINS!! KEA ROCKS!!!!! GREAT JOB LOUIS AND ALANNAH!!! (No bias is shown)
Well done to the chosen 2013 House Leaders. It again will be a very busy year and they will be called on many times to 'step up', organise and lead through example. They have had seen how it can be done and it is up to them to do the same and even better.
The class has been completing their kites. There is again so much hot glue, sticks, tissue.....etc... all over the room (but it's great). Some of them have produced really good, well designed kites. One even was too strong for the string used. Bridey, Hamish, Tashana and Jordy did a very cool straw, tissue kite made up of 9 pyramids. A bit of wind will see it fly brilliantly.
Only a couple of events left to complete.
On Monday 17th December the Year 7/8's are heading to TBHS for a reward morning. This should be a nice morning. With the gym, grounds and pool being available to us. In the afternoon we are back at school, where Room 14 will be having a class treat where electronics, games and chilling out will be the order of the day.
In the evening the Year 8's will be attending their PTA Dinner. This starts at 6.30 (they need to be there by 6.15) and it will be completed by 8.30. This is a semi formal affair so everybody needs to be tidy with no scruffy jeans or shirts. There will be three speakers inspiring their young minds.
It will be nice ( I couldn't think of a better word) to again see the students out of the classroom setting.
That's all for now.
Cheers
Hamish
