Term 2, Week 2

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 Two. This week we have Norm Hewitt, ex All Black, coming to speak to us about his role with the SPCA. Specialised Programmes forms will be coming out this week also. We will be discussing these options later on in the week.

This term is another busy term with Production, Specialised Programmes, Sports events, reports and Parent Conferences. Make sure that you are getting involved.

A great start to the term with lots of homework books being handed in. A reminder that you are meant to spend 30 minutes each day completing your homework. Some of you are not meeting this expectation and if this continues there will be consequences. Be Organised Learners and earn yourselves positive consequences.

REMINDERS: CHOCOLATE MONEY IS OWED BY SOFIA, CHRISTOPHER, JAHROME AND TAYLAH – THIS IS NEARLY TWO MONTHS LATE!!!!!

A 10 or 20 page clearfile or pay your $1, SMP forms from Navi, Jackson, Chris, Ayden, Greyson, Jahrome, Josh, Rylee, Taylah, Emma, Florence and Sofia, 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

Our days for PE are Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays and we will be doing Activate on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Our expectation is that you will need to bring your PE uniforms every day. There will be consequences for those of you who choose to not meet this expectation.

Congratulations to those Organised Learners who always have their PE uniforms each time we have PE, your efforts are outstanding!

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 4^TH MAY.

Week 10 :-)

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 Ten. This week is our last week of term. We also have our V2 Superbox race happening on Thursday afternoon. At this stage we have 2 cars being made and we will have to have a race off to see who will be representing Rm 15 in the big race.  

Just a reminder to those making cars to make sure that you check the checklist to make sure that you meet all of the scrutineering criteria – this can be found on the blog.

If you would like to have Honey the rabbit or Bud the budgie for the holidays you need to bring a note from home, signed by your parents giving you permission. You need to be able to take the animals home on Thursday afternoon and bring them back on the first Monday next term. You will be given enough food to last you for the holidays. First in, first served!

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.

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.

Congratulations to those Organised Learners who always have their PE uniforms each time we have PE, your efforts are outstanding!

If you repeatedly forget your PE uniform on PE days then you can expect a consequence.

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.

And here is our last caterpilllar :-)
