Yo!

Well, we now know what's happening - we'll be back at school on Thursday!  It's good to finally know the plan and we can start thinking about what the last three weeks of the term are going to look like.

Thanks to the Red and Green groups for your participation in the Zoom meetings we had yesterday.  It was nice to see your gorgeous faces.  Don't forget to update your HRR :)

To those that joined in the Dizzy Challenge - nice!  I hope no one felt too ill after spinning around all those times... sorry (not sorry).  As you know, I have a tiny (major) issue with motion sickness, so there is no way I was going near that challenge!  I hope no mums were harmed in the filming of the videos - those poor ladies!



HOME LEARNING UPDATE


  • Mark yesterday's work - 'Quiz 4' and the Whizz-Kids maths worksheet:


  • SPEECHES - writing your speech will be one of the first jobs we do when we're back at school.  You need to take some time over the next couple of days to think about what you want to write about.  I would suggest you talk to ma and pa, and get some ideas from them too.  It is not a particularly easy topic, and you'll probably need all the help you can get!
    • Topic:  INSPIRATION
    • This could involve speaking about uplifting stories, taken from the lives of ordinary people, or even famous people.
    • Or, you could write about someone close to you who has inspired you, someone from history that has inspired you, or even how YOU have inspired others.
  • PET DAY 2021 - our Pet Selfies are sorted.  Now it's time to think about our second indoor exhibit.  Please read through the information on the Pet Day 2021 tab (above).  Again, you have perfect opportunity to seek help/ideas/inspiration from your bubble buddies.  If you have any questions, please send me an email.  I need you guys to be really onto it with this.
  • TECH UPDATE - we have three more sessions of Tech this term, and then we'll have the final rotation in Term 4.  Tech dates this term are:
    • Thurs 23 Sept
    • Fri 24 Sept
    • Thurs 30 Sept
  • It's important you have the following things finished by the time we return to school on Thursday:
    • Lockdown Thinker's Keys x4
    • Daffodil Day Colouring Competition
    • 'The Scream'
    • Decide the focus for your speech
    • Decide what your recycled animal is going to look like and gather materials
    • Lucy, Lily, Brooke and Seianna - you missed your group reading Zoom meetings, so I'm not sure if you've finished reading the book or not.  If not, this absolutely needs to be done
  • Our trip to the Feilding Sale is cancelled, so don't worry about returning the transport forms.
  • DANCE - we are all go!  We have about five practice sessions before the social which is on Thurs 30 Sept.
  • INTERHOUSE NUKUMBALL - we're all go for this too!
  • CHIN UP CHAMPS - this is ON (hope you've been working on those arm muscles Lily!)
  • NETBALL - we will have one final practice on Thurs 16 Sept (we'll take team photos at this practice, but we're going to ditch the parents vs kids game), and the last game is being played on Mon 20 Sept.  We're still deciding about whether we have time to play the staff vs students game.
  • THURSDAY - you need to be super onto it on Thursday.  Make sure you bring the following:
    • lockdown hard pack including the atlas and your PC/CF etc
    • all reading/library books
    • Shelby, Sophia, Maia - Daffodil Day dress up stuff (we still need you to promote this event - Daffodil Day is now Fri 17 Sept).
    • Jesse, Austin - hockey tops
    • Austin - cycling top
    • Lily - I want my umbrella back!
    • dental forms
    • Riley - $5 for scissors
    • Riley - bring the hockey goalie gear to school
    • Millie - new ruler
  • ATTITUDE - I know that some of you are quite happy at home, and that you aren't all that excited about returning to school.  I also know that some of you are desperate to get back into a routine and see your mates again (and me of course).  Others will fit somewhere in between.  Wherever you're at, make sure you turn up on Thursday with the right attitude - be ready to work hard, and play hard!  There are 12 weeks of school left this year - be ready to make the most of it.

That's it from me today.  See you on Thursday.  Hasta la vista!
MS
