Are we really nearing the end of Term 2?

Well, in a word, YES! You know what they say, "Time flies when you're having fun." We have been really busy this term and it's not looking like easing up at all, so the remaining few weeks are sure to race by! We have had a (planned!) visit from some firemen, done some terrific cinquain-style poems about disasters (I hope to get some examples up here...) and are currently half way through our Kia Kaha unit, which deals with the problem of bullying. And with many cool activities still to come (Matariki Lantern making for example) and more Kia Kaha and Disaster topic work, plus a unit on Firewise, there will be some worn out kids by the holidays! And then there's reading, writing, maths, spelling, handwriting...
