KIA ORA WHANAU, FROM MR O
We have a lot of exciting programmes and adventures planned for the next 10 weeks of term 3. The Inquiry topics that each syndicate are studying this term are:
Juniors - Fur, feather, scales + STEM + Rugby World Cup
Middles - Countries of the world (tied in the with the Rugby World Cup)
Seniors - Build a Business + Speeches
We will also have a focus on fitness and exercise over the next 5 weeks as we build up our stamina for Cross Country. Our focus for each child at VS is to give their best - building resilience and a 'growth mindset' with Cross Country races - see our school goal. It is great to see each Vogeltowner giving 100% - whether they are running or walking quickly!
You will also notice some changes in property at the junior and senior school. At the junior school we have a new 'High Dependency Unit' opened in the old dental clinic behind rm 1. At the senior school we have finally broken ground for the new classroom that should be arriving in the next 3 weeks. This is a very special time for a school - it is not every day that we get to welcome a new room! Have a look below at the concept plans and photos of it being out together in Tauranga before it is transported down on three trucks.
