Moving into Term 3, Week 3!

Cycle Sense for year 6

In Week 5 and 6, we will be having our free cycle sense course over two days for our year 6s. The students will need to bring a helmet and a bike, unless they don't have one, in which case, there will be a few available. 
Miss Loose will be sending permissions slips out week 4 via the Hero App. You will just need to login to the app and click yes on the digital notice to give permission. Let m.crawford@woodend.school.nz know if you are having trouble accessing it. 

Interviews

We look forward to speaking with parents, caregivers, and students at our conferences this week in the Te Ngahere Space. We encourage mask wear unless you have an exemption. As our interviews begin at 2.10 in the afternoon our students will be watching Apollo13 with Mr Manzl as part of our Science focus.  

Moon and Beyond

We're knee deep in the Moon and Beyond unit, with multiple lessons, immersion, experiments, mathematics, literacy, and a whole bunch of other rich activities. We can't wait to show you the grand finale.
