Long Beach

We are 3 weeks away from heading to Long Beach for our Rock Climbing Challenge Day! Today we went for a drive out there to have a look around and there was infact a group of people climbing, so I've taken a few photos to show you all exactly where we climb! What do you think?

A proud moment!

A proud moment for Room 7

Well done all Room 7 students who ran today! I was immensely proud of each and every one of you that crossed the finish line; your positive attitudes, willingness to cheer yourself and peers along made me a very proud teacher! A special WELL DONE and CONGRATS to Thomas, Caleb, Jaidyn, Matthew and Emma D who all made it through to the OTAGO CHAMPS!! that is a seriously great effort to be proud of and of course you will all receive a BADGE! yay!

Another huge well done on your amazing focus during pubertal change lessons! I have been overwhelmed with your maturity and sensible questions that you've been asking! We haven't finished yet...next week we will be looking at the emotional changes that happen during puberty and how best to cope with these changes!

It's disco time! Who's going dancing? The School Council and I really hope to see you there and shaking your groove thing on Wednesday night!

I can smell my pizza cooking so it's time to sign off ! Have a super fabulous weekend, I know you have earned it for sure!

Week 5 - half way there!!

Changes at Puberty - What is everyone's general impressions? We probably have about one more week's worth of learning to do then we can look at the next aspect of our Challenge Unit which is looking at the Agencies in our community that can help us.

Cross Country on Friday; you guys have all made HUGE progress with your personal fitness, I really hope the rain stays away between now and then as the course has a tendency to become a mud bath! Do you remember what our class goal is?

See you tomorrow
