Marching Along......

Where has the term gone?

There has been camp, tennis, an Art Gallery visit, Swimming Demos, Hiwi the Kiwi ... but wait there is still more so stay tuned :)

The Year 5's had a brilliant time at Konini Lodge we tramped up a storm but thankfully not in one!  Every alternate week we have been fortunate enough to have two fabulous coaches from Tennis NZ impart their expertise with us.  We ventured to the art gallery where Chris shared his wonderful knowledge on landscapes and we created our own wax and Indian Ink master pieces.  A couple of weeks ago we also celebrated our swimming successes with everyone who could make it, we were so lucky with the gorgeous day and our Year 5's also celebrated in style their swimming abilities down at the Highlands pool last week.  And to top last week off we had a brilliant visit from Hiwi the Kiwi who got us rocking into the weekend.

So Room 9 have hung up their goggles and dusted off their sneakers as we have been training for the Great Frankley Triathlon!!! I hope that everyone has got into the spirit and is giving it ago.  The training has gone up a notch at our house as riding a bike on grass is a little more difficult than concrete!!

Week 8 see's Room 9 hosting assembly on Friday, so we will be busy preparing this week and collecting together bits of our learning which we will share with everyone at 2:15 pm on Friday.  We would love to see you there :)

In Week 9 we have 3 way conferences.  This is a great opportunity for us to show you what wonderful things we've done and where we are heading in our learning.  I 'm sorry that the Thursday schedule is shorter, however I am willing to see you any other time that is convenient with you.

That's all from Room 9 for now.

Have a great weekend and we look forward to seeing you in assembly on Friday :)
