Trip to University:<\/span><\/h4>What an awesome morning we had at the University Of Canterbury. A huge thank you to Jenni and Simon for putting together a great morning for us. It was interesting listening to the children talk about what they wanted to study, as we walked through the university. We were wowed by a number of dazzling experiments in the science dept. After a fascinating insight into how drones are used, we experienced a number of hands on activities in the geography dept. Thanks also to Gaby, Shane and Jo for accompanying us on this field trip. Check out the photos at the end of this post.<\/span>


<\/span>Elections Experience:<\/span><\/h4>The children have been very engaged in forming their own parties and policies as part of a student interest initiated writing topic. On Thursday they present their policies to Year 5 & 6, who will then vote. Please click this link<\/a> to check out their polices. These are arranged in four groups, based on the Year 5 & 6 classes they will present to. <\/span>

Parent help required for trip in week one of next term:<\/span><\/h4>We hit the group running next term, with a trip to Orana Park on Wednesday October 18th. This will be the start of our learning about endangered species, with links to the science and social studies curriculum. We need four parents to accompany us on this trip. Please click this link<\/a> to indicate if you can help. A $17.60 transportation and park entry contribution will be added to your next account.<\/span><\/span>


<\/span><\/span>Last day at Champion St:<\/span><\/span><\/h4>On Thursday we say farewell to Champion St. The children will arrive at Beckenham slightly earlier than usual, to deliver their buckets of stationery to our new hub. On Friday morning they are off to technology and will then return to Beckenham. Woohoo, can't wait to be back!<\/span><\/span>
