Speech time!

Here are a few shots from today. The quality of the speeches presented over the last few days has been high. I am impressed with how every single person that has presented so far (no matter how nervous they are) has gathered the courage to get up and present to the whole class. Well done everyone!! We will be announcing the final two to represent our school at the Ellesmere Speech competition tomorrow.

Last day of Algebra in Kereru

We spent our last session on Algebra today. I am very proud of what the learners in Kereru are able to do. I look forward to seeing the results of our post test.
Here is a taste of the revision we did today...

Basketball - STILL GOING!

Hi everyone, we have now found out that there is MORE basketball! Last weeks game (we thought was the final) was the quarter finals. On Monday we have the semi-finals and the following Monday the FINALS,

Monday 25th August: Ladbrooks Leaopards Vs Lincoln Unicorns 4pm @ Lincoln High School
                                    Ladbrooks Lions Vs Clearview Celtics 5pm @ Lincoln High School.

I can confirm there will be finals played on the 1st September - Games and times are currently undecided.

I apologise for all the confusion. I have spoken to someone at Canterbury Basketball and they have agreed that there has been a break down in communication when informing schools of the final rounds.
I hope everyone is able to make it!
