Week 7

 Welcome to Week 7


Welcome to craziness! We're sure that everyone is beginning to feel those end of year pressures, but don't forget to take some time for yourself to be mindful. Talk to your child about what they do if they're feeling a bit tense or worried, and they maybe able to teach you!


Literacy

For the rest of the term we are doing plays, this will help up with preparation for production.




Congratulations to the students who took part in our Agricultural Club Judging





We would also like to give a huge congratulations to Annabel Walton for coming 1st at the Christchurch Agricultural Show for her lamb and project.



Pottery

Yesterday we were potters! We've made some pinch pots, mushrooms and Christmas decorations. 

Miss Molly our very own Potter.....
