Halfway though the holidays...

Hi Rm 22,
I hope that you are all having safe and enjoyable holidays. What interesting things have you got up to? I am hoping that some of you are making some time to keep up the excellent writing that was happening in class last term!
I had a great time in Auckland getting to feel a part of the Rugby World Cup fever and spent the weekend in Akaroa where I bumped into Kobe and his family:-) Tomorrow I head away to the beach for 7 days. I hope that like me, you are all enjoying getting to read lots of books. Remember to take a photo of you reading a book in an interesting place for our prize draw on the first day back.
I'm looking forward to the rugby semi-final tonight (although I'm feeling a bit nervous too!). Maybe some of you will be allowed to stay up late to watch this game.
Go the All Blacks and see you all back at school in a week and a bit.

Happy Holidays!

Thank you for a great term Room 22.
It has been an eventful term with the snow storm, tennis coaching, basketball coaching, turbo touch, Early Canterbury, athletics, cycle safety (and that is only listing some of the great things we have done as a class).
I hope that you all have a great holiday and get up to lots of exciting things, whether you stay in Christchurch or go away on holiday. If you are in Christchurch make sure you check out some of the free holiday activities around the city including visiting the museum.
Please also e-mail me anything interesting that you would like to share with the class during the break. Some of you are in the middle of some wonderful writing at the moment and I would love to think that you might continue working on this over the holiday.
Also, remember our competition for a photo of you reading in an interesting place. I will try and take one too! E-mail me anything at: bethwatson25@gmail.com I won't always have internet during the holidays (especially the second week when I will be in Golden Bay with no phone or internet) but I will upload things as soon as I can.
Finally, we wish Thomas and his family all the best for their move to Nelson. We will miss Thomas and his incredible running ability and all the interesting facts and ideas that he shared with us.
See you all next term. Stay safe and look after your families.
Ms Watson
