Holidays and Term 3

Wow wee!! School holidays are almost over! What have you all been up to? How was Central Otago, Wellington, Australia, Ashburton, Christchurch, Moana pool, football watching (go Spain! Olivia, your team 'the Netherlands' was so close) and the movies??? Have you been getting fit ready for the cross country? I have had the most lovely time in London! I have caught up with many friends and been running in all my favourite places. It has been hot hot hot over here! I popped in to visit the old school that I used to teach at and happened to stumble upon their Sports day. It was great fun catching up with them all.
I'm now looking forward to heading home and seeing you all on Thursday. Term 3 will be a great term! We will start the term by learning about the human body, focusing on the skeletal, muscular and respiratory system to begin with. Ukulele and marimba are also coming up for Room 24. In writing we will be looking at persuasive writing and maths we will concentrate mostly on fractions, decimals and percentages.
I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful holiday and are ready for an exciting Term 3! (Maggi team - I hope you sneaked in a few practises over the holidays.)
