Last week in Halberg

It was a big week last week, with our move into the new 'Kepler' space. This week we will be sharing this space with the rest of Sprint and Mrs Taylor's Stride class.

Here are a couple of project options that we will be working on this week:

1. “Christmas Around the World” Multimedia Presentations (Using Google Slides)
Mrs Taylor's Information about Christmas around the world

2. The Twelve Days of Christmas Acts of Kindness Contract (Write and sign your own)
Traditional Twelve Days of Christmas Song
Shrek's 12 days of Christmas
Kiwi Version: A Pukeko in a Punga tree

3. Chalk and stencil Art 

Poem Inspiration

Summer Water Safety Competition

With so many families planning to spend time in, on or around water in the holidays, let’s promote water safety before the summer season gets into full swing.

The winner of this three week competition will receive $100 towards swimming lessons at a Quality Swim School or a SNZ affiliated swim club.

What information is compulsory?
What are the Terms and Conditions?
