Welcome to Week 6!
SPEECHES -
All of our Year 8's proudly shared their speeches to our entire Team on Thursday. This has been a major component of our 'Deep Dive' learning this term, and is a formally assessed piece of work, which you will see in our Literacy Portfolio shortly. It was great to see all of the hard work come to fruition, and the following students are now heading through to the next stage of the competition - Clarkville V Ohoka on TUESDAY 7th June...
Clara-Jane, Oskar and Kasey!
They all presented their speeches with absolute finesse, and we know they will do us proud!
We now look forward to the rest of our team presenting their speeches on WEDNESDAY this week.
Our new Rubiks Cube Club!
They have been challenged with getting as good as this... !
2022 TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGE -
Every year the Tech Centre at Kaiapoi Borough put together the Tech Challenge. This is an OPTIONAL event, and is done in teams of 3-4 students. It will require a place in one of the team members homes to complete.
Please view ALL INFORMATION HERE on our website and feel free to form teams, and enter them on the links within this. We will make sure they are officially entered. THIS IS A FIRST IN FIRST SERVED entry - as both competitions are limited to 4 teams PER SCHOOL.
Entries are starting to fill!
LEADERSHIP -
Our Leadership programme in Matawara are the 'homework' that all of our Team should be completing. There is timetabled class time for Leadership Learning, with both the Year 7 and Year 8 Leadership projects being self managed learning.
Year 8's should be developing their Research and Skill Building around their projects. This is where they are completing all of the LEARNING they need to do, so they can successfully carryout their project. The things that could be included (but should NOT be limited to) - lesson planning, emailing and securing bookings, designing dance routines, visiting experts, maintaining their Leadership diary and much more. Remember, Year 8's should be spending at least 1.5 hours per week on their project.
Year 7's should be continuing their learning around 'The Elements of Colour' which is building their understanding of concepts needed to create the Year 8 Leavers book, by the end of the year.
