Kia Ora,

Term Four

Welcome back to the forth and last term for the boys. We have an incredibly busy term in which the boys are going to be involved in a number of activities outside the classroom. I will be sending an email this week with a lot more of the details.

Homework will continue throughout the term but with a slightly smaller version for the first two weeks with these being short weeks. 

The boys have two research topics to complete. They have been sent a link which has the presentation date for their short science research project. This is expected to be no more than five minutes. All boys have their idea and have been working on this already in class. The unit of inquiry presentation will be made in week seven or eight.

Science presentations have started and the boys have the time and date they are presenting to the class.
