Week 8...

Hi all...

For the next 3 weeks we will be doing 2 main things - Camp Prep and Spelling Facts...yes you read  right - spelling facts. We are going to try doing spelling word recall just like we do basic facts recall...lots of repetition and focussing on firstly recalling accurately and then quickly. 

We hope that parents at home will be able to get involved.

A big congrats to all the speech finalists. The judge from Kuranui was so impressed that she is taking ideas of what she saw us do back to her Year 10/11/12 students!!. 

Also congrats for the x.country efforts!!

Only 24 school days till most of us go on camp....yipppppeeeeeeeeeeee
