Term 4 Week 1

Bonjour;

After a two week break we are back at school and lots of things are going to be taking place in the next nine and a half weeks. Some of these include Sailing, Grandparents Concert, WIMS, Final Assembly and many others.
What's on this term:
Week 1} On Tuesday morning, rooms 13, 14 and 15 left for camp at Lakewood Lodge. Nothing else major happened this week, expect for lunch time inter class touch games.
Week 2} In week two there is nothing on.
Week 3} On Monday of Week 3 there is Labour Day which means it is a public holiday and there is no school. On Wednesday there is WIMS speeches, which is a Waikato School's speech final.
Week 4} In Week 4 there is nothing happening.
Week 5} WIMS Softball and WIMS Theatre Sports is on this week and I'm pretty sure Week 5 on Friday we have Inter House athletics as well.
Week 6} Is Wearable Arts Evening
Week 7} Nothing is on this week
Week 8} This week Room 9 goes on Waikato Camp. WIMS athletics is also on this week.
Week 9} This week nothing is on.
Week 10} This week nothing is on.
Week 11} This Tuesday Term 4 ends and the Christmas holidays start for a whole six weeks. :)

We are currently in Week One and this week on Monday we had a Powhiri and we also started athletics training in class with high jump in the ALC. On Tuesday we had Tech Arts first block and that is still Art.

On Wednesday Nicky Wise who does Life Education in her mobile classroom came to see us. She arrived on Monday morning. Nicky is here to teach give us a five lesson unit on Drugs. Today she gave us an intro in the Dance and Drama studio to tell us what we would be learning about in the mobile classroom. The intro lasted the whole first block and I learnt a lot of things. Did you know that 6 average bottles of alcohol can kill a person? Or that when you take marijuana, is stays in your body for 90 days after you have taken it?
We watched a cartooned video on the projector screen where a man, Trevor Grice talked about the topic of Drugs the whole way through. While he was talking, the video also put up animated people and pictures and videos to help us understand and make the video a bit more interesting.

At the moment for Maths, we are learning about Probability. Some of the words you use to predict the probability of something happening are these: Impossible, Possible, Certain, Likely, Unlikely. For example: What is the possibility of there being a cloud in the sky tomorrow? {With the weather at the moment, the answer would be {Certain} or {Likely}}
