What a wonderful year it has been so far, and with one term left to go it's going to be action packed! We begin this term with our school production: The Great Aotearoa History Show!! Following that we have our school athletics day, school gala, a disco and the Year 4s go on their overnight stay up the maunga. Not to mention all the wonderful learning done in the classroom through our reading, writing and mathematics programmes. We got this Room 11, Kia kaha
TERM THREE
This term Room 11 begin rehearsing for our school production that will take place early term four, so the classroom will come alive with singing and dancing. We will also brave the cold as we train for cross country, as well as participating in our regular P.E. programme.
