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.

  7. One of the weather names in french isn't what i thought it would be and in te reo maori we learnt the times in maori for math.

    the homework we get is easy but sometimes fun.

    i thought we had finished Take Action for Water last term.

    athletics is coming up i hope that it's sunny but not really hot.

    yay the year 8 dinner is coming up in december but i'm not looking forward to the dance.
