SCIENCE FAIR 2009

Amy from our super class, had a go and persevered with her entry and guess what - she WON first place out of the whole school. She will now represent C.T.S. at the inter schools science fair next week. CONGRATULATIONS WONDERFUL AMY :-)

Greek Meal

Have a look at our super Greek meal photos.

We all had a go at the eats and treats.

Exciting Formal Letters

Our letters we wrote and posted away.

Our questions have been answered in many different ways.

Thank you to all who answered so well.

Now we can go and tell each other what questions have to tell.

An Outstanding Assembly

Last Friday 31 July we hosted our feel good assembly.  The emphasis was on our Keys for Learning.  John was excited, Hamish was a wee bit nervous, but, disappointed because his dad was not there as he had a sore back.  

We began with some spinning around, with some extremely cool music where we introduced our Keys for Learning opportunities.  When Mr Wemyss spoke, he was extremely polite ( of course ) as he turned around and said "Sorry for having my back to you - lovely children".  Everyone in our class said something.  It included our learning opportunities, the slide shows and other general comments.  

There were two slide shows involving Room 2 scone baking / box making and the superb senior school (Rm's 8,9 and 10) ski trip.  We hear the ski trip might happen again next year as well.  Fantastic eh!    

We can tell a few of the general Keys for Learning comments some people said:

Welcome to our valued feel good assembly.

At C.T.S. we like to show initiative and actively care for our school environment - visitors welcome to morning tea afterwards.

Teacher's are confident speakers.

Notices - Now you need to be active listeners.

We are innovative thinkers.

We know that mistakes are a learning opportunity.

We like to have fun too.

An opportunity to all to participate fully - school sang the NZ National Anthem

Hoped that departing students would reflect on their fabulous time at C.T.S.

At the end of the assembly we also invited all to reflect upon our assembly.

It was a great team effort, just like this blog.
