Today has started in a very foggy way with my drive to school this morning. it would appear winters icy finger is coming. The day is now beautiful and bright. The hearing and vision lady is here today all Year 7s have been tested. Today also marks the beginning of the PAT tests. This year we will have the results sent to NZCER to take a look at where our children need support and where their strengths are. We have a minute silence today to mark the earthquake. Yesterday we raised almost $300 with our wheels day. Room 7 continues to be a busy place and the students are enjoying learning new subjects and varied approaches. The term is flying by and i always take this as a sign we are filling our days with thinking and purpose and we are occupied with new ideas and creativity.
