We're into our last week folks! What a great finish to the term with Sam, Aaliyah, Lauren and Josie making it into the Otago Science Fair next term - congratulations! Well done also to those who received 'Highly Commended' and 'Outstanding Effort' certificates.
This week we are continuing to celebrate Matariki and Maori Langauage Week by doing some flax weaving, poi and rakau activities. It is also time to finish off our term two work - those who are up to date on Friday will be rewarded.
Sadly, we farewell Ace this week when she returns to South Korea. We have enjoyed getting to know you this year Ace and wish you all the best for your journey. Make sure you keep in touch with us via the blog!
Have a great week!

Week ten - Science Fair!
Well, after 9 weeks of planning and hard work, the science fair is finally here! Well done to those of you who managed to finsh off your boards in class on Friday. I am looking forward to seeing the rest of your boards finished on Monday morning, and hearing your presentations.
If you have forgotten, the order for your information is: introduction-aim-hypothesis-equipment-method-results-conclusion. Your photos can go where you think they look best.
The children at WAKARI KINDERGARTEN are looking forward to seeing us on Tuesday morning. There are still about 15 places available for our OBSERVATORY VISIT on Thursday night too.
Remind your parents that they can come and view the science fair projects in the school hall on Wednesday and Thursdsay nights. The winners will be announced on Friday in our school assembly.

Week 9 Term 2
Hi everyone,
I hope you have finished off any last minute science fair testing this weekend!
I was very impressed with your singing and guitar playing on Friday. Tuesday's visit to the Art Gallery will be extra good if it starts off with a great performance like that!
On Monday we'll be selecting whose photos go through to the year seven photography competition. Your parents and friends will be able to view and vote on these in week ten when they come in to see the science fair all set up.
On Friday we'll be putting together our science fair boards in class - make sure you have all of your infomation and photos printed by then please. We'll also be entertained by 'That Blind Lady' at year seven assembly - more info in class later this week.
Please bring back your kindy visit permission slips asap.
Have a great week!

Week 8
This is another big week for us - we are all looking forward to our university student, Mrs Wing, doing some teaching. We are also typing up our science fair results and conclusions, ready to put onto our boards next week.
Remember that our art gallery visit is on next Tuesday, we still need to sort out a waiata to perform when we arrive.
Don't forget to e mail me (or bring to school) your best photo from Orokonui for the year 7 photography competition. I am looking forward to seeing what you have achieved!
Spelling as usual for homework this week, as well as finishing off your science fair project of course. Good luck!

Science Fair Update
Hi everyone,
This week we will focus in class on how to write your results and conclusion. On Monday next week I'll collect in your folder to see how you have progressed with writing yours. Your testing should be well underway by now!
It will be great to have our student teacher, Mrs Wing, with us for the next 3 weeks too.
A reminder that our Art Gallery date has changed - we are now going on the 28th of June rather than this coming Tuesday.
Have a great week!
