Well done to those who got up and presented speeches at the school speech finals on Monday! It was a neat opportunity to share your ideas and persuade everyone to agree with your opinion. There were some well thought out arguements so well done for getting involved.

On Friday 5th July it was Book Character Day. Everyone got dressed up and turned into someone from their favourite book! What different book characters can you spot in Kahikatea 7?

Persuasive Speeches!!

Choose a topic you feel strongly about, or if you are really stuck you can do it on why every body should have a pet.

We will be writing speeches in class in week 8, but you can come up with ideas at home if you wish. When you are practising your speech, practise using body language, expression in you voice and facial expression to show that you believe in what you are saying.

Class Finals: Tuesday 2nd / Wednesday 3rd July (Week 9)

 

Check out some of our awesome autumn art!

Well done on another fabulous assembly Kahikatea, give yourself a big pat on the back.

Just something for you to consider over the weekend- Speeches!! Your job is to persuade us, so start thinking about what your topic will be and share it with me next week.

Enjoy your weekend and all the best to those playing sport

A big congratulations to Connor, who today was awarded a Kiwanis Award for his outstanding citizenship and attitude towards his learning!

This is a very special award to receive and I am sure you will all agree that it couldn't have gone to anyone more deserving. Connor is an enthusiastic member of our class and is always spotted working hard. So well done to you, Connor; we all look forward to seeing what book is sitting in the library, esspecially chosen by you!

If you are wondering what we are all smiling about, take a closer look!

 

We are not only smiling because the sun came out, but we are happy because we worked super hard  and were awarded Mathletics Class of the Week at todays assembly!!
Mathletics is a motivating and fun way to improve your math skills, so make sure you all keep working towards those certificates by working on the areas that you have not quite mastered yet!

But for now, Woohoo, it is Friday!! So relax and enjoy your weekend everyboy.  To those playing sport this weekend- play hard, but play fair and don't forget to let us know how you get on! :)

Well done to Rosalie who recently got her Science Badge for Zoology!

She is not the only one; several other members of our class are keen scientists working towards getting a science badge also. So, who are you all, and can you tell us what it involves to get your badge? :)
