Week 8

Kia Ora, Guten Tag and welcome to our blog for 2012 J

This is where you will be able to find your homework tasks, team newsletters, information about what is happening during the week and reflections on what we have been doing in class.

We are now in Week Eight. This week we have our Japanese student, Shuhei, at school with us. It has been great to see you all spending time with him and including him in your games and activities. Keep up the great work people J.

There is another show this Thursday with a lady called Marcelle Bernard who is a motivational speaker about confidently speaking to people. She is an awesome lady to go and listen to. I highly recommend that you all pay your $7 if you haven’t paid your shows fee. She has great tips for creating and delivering speeches which is something that you will all have to do later on in the year. Your $7 needs to be paid to the office by Wednesday afternoon if you want to go.  

Congratulations to all those people who participated in last week’s Swimming Sports. It was great to hear you supporting our team members while they were swimming and you displayed a huge variety of Virtues which was fantastic to see.

We now have 4 bright green chrysalises hanging from our swan plants and one more caterpillar growing very rapidly. Keep an eye out on our blog to see the photos J

I am still very impressed to see the amount of homework that was handed in on time. Way to go my Absolutely Fabulous Organised Learners!!!! J Keep up the great work and effort.  

REMINDERS: A 10 or 20 page clearfile or pay your $1, SMP slips, shows money either $7 or $20, homework is due this Friday.

A reminder for our returning Year 8’s to lead by example and make the most of all of the opportunities that Maeroa has to offer and for Year 7’s to experience as much as they can while they are at Maeroa.

PE and Activate

A reminder that we are still swimming even though the days are getting a bit colder. Our pool is solar heated and the covers are going on at the end of the day to help keep the pool warm.

You MUST have a note if you are not swimming. It is not good enough to say that you ‘forgot’ your togs as the routine hasn’t changed from day one.

 Thank you to those Organised Learners who bring in a note explaining why they aren’t swimming and for how long they won’t be swimming for. This is the expectation.

Our days for PE are Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. As well as swimming we will be doing Activate every day. The expectation is that you will need to bring your PE uniforms every day.
Homework

Homework is given out every week on a Monday and it is expected that homework is returned completed on Fridays. You are expected to complete around 30 minutes of homework every night.

HOMEWORK IS DUE IN ON FRIDAY 223^rd   MARCH.
