SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY

Last Friday was the school cross country. It was a gorgeous day and everyone ran really well. A special well done to Will McAllister (3rd) Henri Gaudin (7th) and Lucy Cathro (7th) who will all represent our school in the Otago Cross Country champs to be held at school on Friday 9th September. Good luck!

Well Done Henri and his team

Henri was in the top O'Mathalon team along with Jaren Roy, Sean Lau and HOlly Armstrong. They competed at the town hall last night and won! They were awarded a $40 voucher and chocolate calculator (yum.)

NEW BLOG PAGE.

Hi students, parents and friends of room 9. We have a new blog page.

I plan on making this as interactive as possible. But to achieve that..... I need YOUR help!

I would like to start with a discussion about our ASPIRE projects. I noticed when reading your Accumulation that a lot of the subject areas you were researching crossed over. For example; Beau is researching palm oil and Nicola and Lola are researching make up and cosmetics. Perhaps Beau could give some insight into how many cosmetics contain palm oil.

So... each group or individual needs to post their focus question on our blog page. Then all students need to comment positively and critically on other student's focus areas. Ask your peers some interesting questions, or suggest things they might not have thought of, what about recommending a website or video clip? I will have rewards for the most thoughtful contributions.
