Speeches

Well done everyone on getting your speeches done. I know some of you found them rather scary, considering that you did really well.
Special mention to Daniel who presented a very funny speech all about public toilets, and Ben who spoke about why 12yr olds should be able to drive.
Congratulations to Maxine who is going to the Yr 7 speech finals tomorrow.

Maths Week

A huge congratulations to Ben, Aidan, Woojing and Cameron for winning the Year 7 Mathex competition this week. I am sure it was purely due to all my cheering :-) Well done boys. There were many comments as to how well you worked together as a team.

Everyone else has been enjoying the chance to solve problems, either by themselves or as a class. The maths quest was great fun. A gigantic thanks goes out to Miss Jones for organising such a great week. I wonder what other weeks we could have-a chocolate week????

Lucky Nikita!!!!

Dear MIss Austin,

Today I was'nt at school because I went down to Pukekohe race track with my mum , sister , stepdad , Poppa & other patience from the Mercy Hospice. My poppa arrived by helicopter from Auckland. We thought we were just going to watch poppa have a few laps around the race course and a helicopter ride, but we all got to have a go and I went on the helicopter over pukekohe and had a few laps in a race car. I went in a little white hatch back, we got up to 200 kms. It was awesome. We all got t-shirts and VIP passes.

Here is a photo of me getting strapped in the race car.

New Years Question

Question for you to find the answer to:
Why do we celebrate our new year on the same day every year but Chinese New Year, Maori New Year (Matariki) and Ramadan(Muslim New Year) aren't celebrated at the same time every year? The same applies to Easter, why is it never celebrated on the same dates?

It's a tricky question but I am sure you can find the answer.

Rugby

Phew, what a busy week!!! Today we had a rugby session with Jeremey and Dean from Counties rugby. It looked like fun and there were lots of dirty knees by the end of the session.

Don't forget to keep up the work on your speeches, time will run out fast for you.
