Learning Conferences:
We are looking forward to catching up with you at learning conferences tomorrow and on Thursday. You can still book a conference by going to www.schoolinterviews.co.nz and entering the code ay2w2
Please come straight into the hub when you arrive. The children will gather their books and start sharing their learning with you. Your child's home-group, maths and possibly reading teacher(s) will drop by to discuss progress and next steps. There will be a list on the large whiteboard to remind the children about all that they have to share.
Winter Sport:
The winter sport season has finished. A huge thank you to all of the parents who regularly gave their time to coach teams. Without you, the children would not have had the opportunity to play. Also a big thank you to Jenny and Gayle for all of the extra hours they put in to coordinate this weekly programme.
Congratulations to our Year 7 & 8 hockey team who were placed 9th at the Canterbury Winter Tournament last week.
Speeches:
Today the children got underway with their speech writing. They are writing a 3-4 minute persuasive speech. While most of this will be written at school, some writing will need to happen at home. Please encourage your child to work on their speech.
Celebrating our Cantamath achievements:
We were thrilled with the number of children who achieved excellence and highly commended awards for their display work at Cantamath last Wednesday.

A big well done to our Cantamath teams who sweated it out for 30 minutes of challenging questions.
