As part of my Room 14 Literacy group, we have been studying Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. We have explored the major themes and are analysing the characters and their interactions. We were given the task of writing a letter from a character's point of view. I stepped into Juliet's shoes and wrote to her parents about her situation and emotions. After collecting enough ideas, I started to write, slowly turning my work into something that took longer than expected to complete. In the end, it was done, and I was proud. I hope you enjoy reading it.

The Year 7 classes will be starting this unit in week 1 of Term 4. Parents are invited to a parent meeting on Monday 24 September at 5.30pm in the Textiles Tech room. Constable Carrie Hamilton will be going over what we are teaching and the importance of the unit. Please email your class teacher if you are intending on coming to this meeting.

Each house will sing a set song 'E rere Taku poi' and then a chosen piece by a NZ artist. Family and friends are welcome to come along!
