PrEP update!

CONGRATULATIONS to the following students in Room 19 for being selected as CEOs of their PrEP ventures: 
Geena, Markaia, Zephyr and Stephanie. 
These children are in charge of the 4 "businesses" in Room 19 and will soon have the task of reading CVs and hiring other students to work for them. 
Keep posted for developments!

Term 2

Welcome to Term 2. This is going to be a term full of great learning opportunities!
We are learning to Manage Ourselves.
Our Success Criteria:
- Have self control
- control your actions
- ownership ( manners, respect, learning, responsibility for your emotions)
- stop and think
- Hautoa (courage)

For writing we are going to be focusing on goal setting and persuading others to buy our PrEP products (yes, we will be doing PrEP!).

Our shared story this term is the classic - "The Witches" by Roald Dahl. Check out the next post for what we have "found out" about witches.

Homework: Keep the reading going - at least 15 minutes every night! So important. It doesn't need to be a school book-they could read the newspaper with you or a book from the public library.

Swimming: Every Friday this term, at 10.45am (this time may change to a later time).

How to Recognise a Witch

Witches can be any woman - they could even be your teacher or your next door neighbour.

• They always wear gloves
• They are bald
• Big nostrils - bigger than humans. 
• Eyes - the black spot in the middle changes colour. Fire and ice dancing in them
• No toes-just feet. 
• Blue spit

Swimming Week 4
