Week 6 - Wakey wakey, shakey shakey!

Hi whanau!

Hopefully you have all managed to stay safe and dry. Remember to check in on neighbours, family and friends to make sure they are ok after that big shake!


Clarkville School will be closed for the day and hopefully you will manage to catch up on some well needed sleep. Our Facebook page will have up-to-date information, so that's probably the best place to check our progress.

If you are looking for some semblance of normality, here is some work on our team's website:

Aspire website

Weekly quiz

Maths - trigonometry investigations


This is by no means compulsory and our main focus is that everyone is ok.

Production

Rehearsals for production start this week and if you have some time, we would love for you to join us to help get the show going! Send us an email if you have some skills and time you could donate! Here's the timetable for the week:


Monday's production timetable will be moved to Tuesday so that the whole school will get to meet their groups and get a good overview of what is ahead and set out a plan.

Assembly

It's Explore's turn to share this week (Wk 6) and we will have two of our awesome Yr 8 leaders to lead this.

Aspire will be sharing next week (Wk 7) so stay tuned!


We're sending positive thoughts to those affected by the shakes, stay safe.
