Welcome back to Term three! As usual it’s a busy term for year 7 and 8 students. This term we have science fair, taranaki trophy, speech board, positive puberty and technology - so it is going to be full on.
This week we will be spending time working on science fair entries and learning how to correctly write up an investigation. Students should have their experiments well under way by now.
All students are going to undertake an adaptive maths test so we can see where we’re at. An adaptive test changes the questions to suit the student so that we can gain the most insight into what they can and can’t do. This is really helpful for teaching students to their individual needs.
Japanese continues this term. Students will continue to learn greetings, numbers, short sentences, etc. Myself and miss jury will be involved in professional development in this area on wednesday this week.
Tech will be in week 4 again this term. Students will pick their options this week and will meet for a planning session in the next week.
We will be involved in the Taranaki Trophy sports exchange this term. Practices for rugby and netball will be on friday afternoons. There will be two netball teams this year - an A and B team. The B team will play nearly as many games as the a team. Teams will be finalised before friday this week.
Our first exchange is here at school next thursday against oakura.
Transport will be required for away games.
Have a great week.
