Zoo Trip and Inspiration!

We have had a fantastic start to the term in Room 7. It was great to hear everybody had a great holiday and were refreshed and ready to learn. We are beginning each day in Room 7 with a piece of inspiration, a story, photo, video clip etc. to get us thinking about keeping positive, working together and supporting each other. The children particularly enjoyed this video clip showing the power of working as a team. Enjoy the link:

Today was a highlight for many of the children and teachers as we ventured out into the big world, on our zoo trip. We had been unlucky with the weather on Tuesday but the sun shone brightly today so we began our adventure.  Of the many cool things that we did, being able to touch a Tuatara named Stonehenge, was my personal favourite. I will let the children fill you in on their favourite bits if they haven't already.  Mr S, Mrs G and myself along with all the wonderful parent helpers, were super impressed with how well the seniors behaved today. They made us really proud. Here are a few snaps of the day.

Homework Week 1

End of Term 2

Gosh, where has the term gone? We have been SUPER busy in Room 7.

One of the highlights of our last week of term 2 was the presentation of speeches. I was blown away by the high standard of the speeches and super-duper proud of all the children, for getting up in front of the class and presenting their speeches.  This was not an easy thing to do for a lot of the children in Room 7, however everyone has grown in confidence from being part of the experience.

Congrats to the students who made it through to the senior syndicate finals.

This is the senior syndicate before the speech finals take place.

We are enjoying syndicate fitness, when the weather is kind. We had a lot of fun playing dodge ball today.

Wishing you all safe and happy holidays with your wonderful children. See you back for another exciting term on Monday the 21st of July.
