What's+Happening


 * 28 August **


 * Well what a fortnight we've had! First the snow meant we had THREE DAYS off then at the end of that week we had our wonderful trip to Greymouth on the Transalpine. everyone thoroughly enjoyed this trip but we were quite tired and noticeably quiet on the return trip. There are some awesome photos too. This last week we participated in our zones sports tournament. Years 5-8. Our soccer teams did brilliantly and won all theri games and the Netballers were also brilliant. Tied with St Pauls for first place but because there was no play off for finals the places were decided by points differential and our result was a well deserved second place. Constable Richard has been in three times this week and lead us in discussions on the facts figures and pitfalls of both legal and illegal drugs. It's both very interesting and quite sobering to know about these things. **
 * Thursday and Friday saw us competing as a class in the Mathletics Challenge. It was a bit different this year as it was only two dats instead of a week and the first day was only curriculum activities and the second live Mathletics. The results at the moment are only interim but it looks as though we have once again done incredibly well. Shweta, Zoren, Mikaela, Maria,Zoe,Sam,Cameron and Daniel ar in the top 100 individuals from all over NZ. Our class is third and our school second. These results are outstanding considering we had the sports tourny and Constable Richard visits during these two days.**


 * Term 3 is a busy term. **


 *  This term we have Constable Richard coming and teaching us K.O.S (keeping ourselves safe). We are learning about types of bullying and how to cope if it should ever happen to us.We are role playing how to deal with a number of different and potentially difficult situations. **


 *  We have to go to the Town Hall for music festival practice on Thursday the 19th August. We have made a pretty good effort at learning all of the songs but haven't learnt the words from memory yet but have plenty of time as the concert is not until the 19th October. We are trying hard to sell tickets for this concert. **


 *  On Thursday 5th of August we have Catholic Sports Day where the Catholic schools of Christchurch go to Hagely Park and compete against other Catholic schools in netball or soccer. **


 *  And in the middle of August we have NZ maths week on Mathletics. **


 *  There are so many things to do!! **
