Weekly notices, Must Do Learning tasks and homework

Kia ora Room 1. Welcome to Week Five of the term. Thanks to all those of you who worked hard and completed their Must Do tasks to the best of your ability at the end of last week, well done. A small number of people will need to ensure they're more organised over the coming weeks! Well done also to all of you for a great morning at the school swimming sports, it was awesome to see everyone giving their best, and thanks to our new house leaders who all put in a great effort to look after your houses and create a pumping atmosphere!

Enjoy your learning, make the most of it.
