Kia ora everyone,
We are delighted to welcome our year 7 and 8 leaders back to the final term of 2019.
Last term, we made great progress in science. We built our knowledge on a range of biological systems and terms (including ecosystems, biotic/non-biotic factors, water cycles and more), discussed solutions to ecological challenges and even managed to create stunning works of art!
In literacy, some of us learned about writing formal letters and crafted arguments which were sent down to different Members of Parliament. You can imagine our excitement now that some of the MPs have started replying!
Others in the hub applied their scientific understanding my creating picture books which were then shared with some of the younger learners in the school. They loved connecting with our Stonefields role models who did an excellent job of representing the hub.
All of the learners enjoyed writing speeches, creating poetry and reciting raps about topics that they were passionate about. They shared their writing confidently with their peers and it was great to see how enthusiastic they were about their chosen topics!
This term we are exploring the concept of change. Through this concept, the hub will be digging into their family’s past, reflecting on this year and looking to the future. There are lots of opportunities to consider how life has changed over the years and to open up whanau discussions.
As the term goes on, we will also be preparing for the Learning Achievement Celebrations and to see our year 8 learners off in style!
We look forward to seeing you in the hub soon.
Kind regards,
Miriam, Hope, Bob and Sarah
