Monday 15th August - SNOW DAY!

Hello little darlings! We hope you are enjoying the snow and keeping warm.
I think we can safely say that the winter tournament will be cancelled tomorrow - so pass that on to those people that you know are involved.

If you need something to do visit www.studyladder.co.nz

Let's have a syndicate snow man competition. Take a photo of it (with you in the photo) and email it to me: amy.ridpath@belfast.school.nz
I'll post them during the day. It doesn't have to be a snowman either...

Keep warm, and enjoy it. Think of it as preparation for our Ski Trip.

Welcome Back to Term 3!

Welcome back! This term our topic is called :
“It’s Playtime”. We will be looking at the history of games, how they have changed, been impacted by technology, and link this in with the Rugby World Cup. We will also be working through the following; Information reports, problem solving, fractions, Speeches, puberty, and students will complete an individual inquiry this term. We are very excited about all of these possibilities! A highlight of this term will of course be the Ski Trip in week 6. There will be some work around this also - what a great opportunity. We are looking forward to seeing out students step up this term, and work very hard!
