Week 7 in Team B

Can you believe that it will be September at the end of this week?
Time flies when you are having fun!
It has been another good week at school with lots of things happening. All the students are on their second or third visit in the Ed. Life Caravan - working with Celia. She is awesome and they are learning all about keeping a balance in life. The programme is entitled 'WOF' and is based on a Warrant of Fitness, with a focus on a healthy attitude, healthy appetitie and healthy activity.

On Tuesday the Apple Bus tour came to BBI. This group of teachers, from all over New Zealand, are interested to see how we integrate technology into all aspects of our learning. Proud students from Room 8 and Room 5 talked to these teachers about the radio station and wikis.
You can view some of the work being done by students, using wikis, on http://communityrights.wikispaces.com

Some of the students in our team took part in the Eastern Zone gynmastics competetion on Thursday and they did very well. Talking about gymnastics, there is a Jump Jam class competition on at the end of the term. Practices are in the PAC at lunchtime. All students are welcome to participate.

Students from Room 5 all met at the movies on Saturday evening to see Amazing Grace. This film is about the abolition of the slave trade and linked in well with our work on Human Rights. We had a great evening.


PLEASE NOTE
Next week the school survey will be sent home with the newsletter. Please make sure that you receive this and we would appreciated it if you could fill this in and send it back to school.
