Today, Monday, we introduced them to Cantamath projects. Ideas have been shared on a slideshow, which they can access at home on google classroom, and each child has brought an assignment sheet home (or will bring this home on Tuesday). The children select one project category to enter. They have been given three weeks, as it will take this long to do a good job. If by Friday they have not got an idea underway, please encourage them to speak with their maths teacher for some help.&nbsp;<\/div><div><br \/><\/div><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Ski Day<\/h3><div>Our ski day to Mt Hutt is on Thursday September 2nd. <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/XzsfGVkTN4Dn116U6\">Please click this link and complete the form<\/a> so we can support wh\u0101nau to ensure every child is well prepared for their day in the mountains. We will be leaving school by 6am and return at 6pm. More information will come out in following posts.<\/div><div><br \/><\/div><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Choice Programme<\/h3><div>From weeks 3 - 5 we will be working through the 'Choice' programme, in class and with our community constable.&nbsp;Choice is a programme that aims to strengthen young people\u2019s ability to make positive life choices with special emphasis on drug use.<\/div><div><br \/><\/div><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Speeches<\/h3><div>A single word that strikes excitement in some and fear in others: speeches. Starting in week 2, we will be working with the children to write a persuasive speech. In week 6 these speeches will be shared in literacy groups. We are aware that this may cause anxiety for some children. While we strongly encourage the children to share their speech with their literacy group, no child will be forced to do so and we have other options for sharing. We look forward to supporting the children in taking on this challenge.<\/div><div><br \/><\/div><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Term 3 key dates for Year 7 &amp; 8:<\/h3><p><\/p><div>July 30 <span style=\"white-space: pre;\">\t<\/span>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Learn, Create, Share Expo<\/div><div><div>August 2<span style=\"white-space: pre;\">\t<\/span>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Canterbury Indoor Tournament for basketball and volleyball<\/div><div>August 10<span style=\"white-space: pre;\">\t<\/span>Year 5 - 8 Duathlon&nbsp;<\/div><div>August 11 <span style=\"white-space: pre;\">\t<\/span>Beckamath event at school<\/div><div>August 13<span style=\"white-space: pre;\">\t<\/span>Cantamath projects due at school<\/div><div>August 15<span style=\"white-space: pre;\">\t<\/span>Choice sessions begin<\/div><div>August 19 <span style=\"white-space: pre;\">\t<\/span>Last winter sport session<\/div><div>August 20<span style=\"white-space: pre;\">\t<\/span>Book character day<\/div><div>August 25<span style=\"white-space: pre;\">\t<\/span>Cantamath (for problem solving teams)<\/div><div>August 30<span style=\"white-space: pre;\">\t<\/span>Canterbury duathlon<\/div><div>September 2<span style=\"white-space: pre;\">\t<\/span>Ski day<\/div><div>September 6 <span style=\"white-space: pre;\">\t<\/span>Hub speech finals<\/div><div>September 20<span style=\"white-space: pre;\">\t<\/span>Zone speech competition<\/div><div>Sept 21-23<span style=\"white-space: pre;\">\t<\/span>Koru Games<\/div><\/div><div><br \/><\/div><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">A message from Cahsmere High School<\/h3><div>2022 Year 9 enrolments for Cashmere High School close at 4pm, 30 July 2021.
