Sports Day

Sadly due to all the rain we've been having, sports day has been postponed. It will be held early next term.

Sports Day

This Thursday is School Sports Day. Remember to wear your running shoes and your comfortable sports clothes to school. Make sure you bring a warm jacket and lots of water. You also need to bring a packed lunch - lots of food to give you energy!

Good luck Room 12 for your events and we'll be cheering on the class relay team for a win!

District 12 News

We have been busy producing another news show for you to enjoy. This week is presented by Group 4.

Kapa Haka

Each year a Kapa Haka group from GSNS perform at the Maori and Pacifica Festival. We just watched their dress rehearsal. It was amazing because they used clear singing voices and lovely actions.

Story of the term

After finally finishing James and the Giant Peach, we are reading a new story: Roahl Dahl's Enormous Crocodile.

Mad Hatter's Hat

Today we were told that everyday while Miss Thompson is teaching we are going to have a different mad hatter. When the mystery mad hatter gets five ticks on the board they get three priveleges. These are to choose the fitness activity, choose a story to read and to have a friend to sit on the couch with them for 2 lessons.
They also have the special mad hatters hat on their desk for the day.
Today's was Qaswar.

Speeches

Everyone should have taken their speeches home today and have started to practise this. Remember these golden tips so you can deliver a successful speech:

1. Use a clear and expressive voice
2. Stand confidently and look at the audience
3. Get to know your speech - try not to read it.
4. Not to slow, not to fast. Read your speech at a good pace

Good luck! Remember that it just about having a go and I can't wait to hear your fantastic speeches!

New Pets

We would like to welcome our new fish friends 'Comet' and 'Camouflage' to Room 12. We will try our best to look after these little fish!
