Chinese Lessons

This week classes had their second Chinese lesson for the year. Each Whanau Class has a teacher in China that we connect with weekly through Zoom. New vocabulary learnt last week were names for different family members. This week the focus has been on asking each other how they are and how to answer depending on personal feeling.

Challenge your child to teach you some of their new vocabulary.   

Chocolates - Year 8 Students only

Chocolate boxes have gone home this week. Students can return money to the classroom on Thursday mornings before school. New boxes are issued on Thursday afternoons once all money from previous boxes has been returned.
