Week 4

We had our second swimming lesson last Thursday and we are doing well! Don't forget your togs this Thursday as well :P

Also last week we had the school Powhiri, and it was a great success! The year sevens were definitely intimidated by the loud and proud Haka performed by the year eights.

This Wednesday is our visit to the art gallery. Thank you to all the parents who have volunteered to supervise us that day.

Meet the teacher and camp meeting

I am looking forward to meeting all of the parents of Room 4! Remember it starts in the hall at 6.30 where you will listen to Mr Hunter and then you will head to Room 4 to meet me. After that we will go back to the hall and discuss the infamous "Berwick Camp". Ours is in Term 2, Week 4 - 30th May - 3rd June.

See you there

Homework Expectations

It's week 2 already and you have homework!!
Homework is usually set on Monday and due on the Friday. Each week four students will be chosen to read the newspaper and find a current event. The current event has to be school based, local, national or international. See if you can find something about survival!
