Year 8 Newsletter

Angela Hunt —

Week 3, Term 3

Dear Parents, Caregivers and Whānau,

Year 8 classes are battling through challenges as part of our Social Studies unit Clash of Kingdoms. So far we have come up with a name and origin story for our civilizations based around the natural environments we drew. We are basically playing a big game between all the Year 8 classes completing tasks to win points and move up in the competition. This provides an engaging context to learn about ancient civilizations and aspects that every civilization needs in order to grow and prosper. If you happen to hear about a strange sounding race of people speaking a language you have never heard of that may well be why!

 Upcoming Dates:

  • Friday, 4 August - Friday, 11 August: The Lion King JR - Live Shows
  • Thursday, 24 August: Year 7-8 Auckland Mathex
  • Monday, 28 August: Staff Only Day

Notices:

It is that time of year when stationery is starting to run out or needs replacing. Could you please ask your child if they need anything topped up and send it in with their names on? Rubbers, rulers, pens and pencils seem to be high on the list. 

Year 8 Homework

  • Memory Verse
  • Reading - Kiwikids News/independent reading
  • Maths - Education Perfect task
  • Spellzone task

Next Week's Memory Verse:

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." Ephesians 4:29

Ngā mihi

Blessings,

Year 8 Teachers
