Girls' Self Defense

Maths Buddy tasks have been set for everyone in the class. Take the time to do these before the end of the week.

More from Room 2
This week is quite different from most, with the girls all doing self defense on Monday and Tuesday, while all of the boys are with Mr Lockington.
Girls' Self Defense
This takes place on Monday and Tuesday. It is a great opportunity for our senior girls to learn what could potentially be life saving skills.
Kayaking
This will be taking place over the next three weeks leading up until the end of the year. Make sure that you know which day that you will be out on the lake!
Maths
Maths swap is now over for the year. The remaining maths sessions for the rest of the year will be in Room 2 with Mrs Hodgkinson and Mr Nelson. A lot of focus will be on using the Maths Buddy website.
Year 8 Dinner
Start getting your flash clothes out for the senior event of the year. We are looking forward to seeing our Year 8s dress up for the big event.
Reports
These are just about done. However, it's never to late for changes to be made! Make sure that you finish the year strong so that you get the positive feedback and marks that you deserve for a great year in Room 2.
Raft Race
This is now only just over two weeks away. If you haven't already done so, start thinking about your race winning design.

Room 2 latest
Only four weeks to go until the end of the year. These weeks will be four very busy ones, as we look to make the most of every learning opportunity over the final 20 school days of 2011.
Languages
This week the French post has stayed the same, as we didn't have a class session last week due to Mr Nelson being away on Thursday afternoon. This means that the post from last week on telling the time is still the most current and up to date.
For the Te Reo Maori blog the new topic is on body parts. The new post will help you with pronunciation of words, as we have borrowed links to the New Zealand History website.
Maths
The Room 2 group is enjoying the use of the Maths Buddy website. As stated last week, all Room 2 students have access to this superb web resource until the end of January 2012. What a great way to give students a head start on what they will be doing in their 2012 maths lessons!
Raft Race
Have you organised a group to start working on your raft for this year's challenge?
Athletics
Congratulations to those children who have qualified for the regional championships. Make sure you keep up that training at home to support what you are doing at school. Give yourself every opportunity of doing your very best against students from across the Wellington region.
Topic
The class is currently studying the elections. Have a look at the newspaper and the television news to find out what's going on. Can you guess who will be the prime minister on Sunday morning?
Homework
The new homework sheet has been posted on this blog. You can access the homework through the link on the top right of this blog page.
Mahi Tahi Kai Tahi
It was great to see so many Room 2 children at last week's Mahi Tahi Kai Tahi event. We are hoping that the event will lead to the building of closer relationships between school and home as one means of supporting children to do their very best at school.

Back to school!
At the time of this being written there is just one day till school starts again. Hopefully everyone is felling refreshed and are looking forward to the final eight weeks of the school year. For our Year 8s, this will be their final term before heading off to college!
Here are some things to look forward to:
Your Teachers
Mrs Hodgkinson will continue to teach on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Mr Nelson will teach the class every Thursday.
Te Reo Maori and French
The Let's Learn Te Reo Maori and Let's Learn French website blogs will continue for the next eight weeks. If you're feeling a little rusty with either of the two languages, take the time to visit the websites to revise what has been covered so far this year.
Homework
The new sheet has been posted on this blog. You can access it through the link on the top right of this page.
The Three Rs
Maths and literacy programmes will continue right up to the end of the year. We aim to keep the kids engaged right up to the last day, making the most of all time available to prepare them for 2012, whether it be for college or their final year at primary school.
Topic
There is more to do on the Take Action for Water unit. The action starts now, with the children looking to see how they can contribute to making our valuable fresh water reserves stay just that, fresh!
PE and Sport
Athletics will be the first sports topic for the term. School athletics are only a few weeks away. From the school event, we are looking forward to seeing many of our students qualifying for the inter-school event, which takes place in late November.
The Year 8 Dinner
This will take place near the end of the term. This is a very special event that celebrates what it is to be a Year 8 at Lakeview School. Many of our Year 7 students will have the honour of being selected to serve the Year 8s on the evening.
Any concerns
Please always feel free to catch up with Mrs H or Mr Nelson if you have any questions or concerns.
