Rimu is back for 2021!

Hi everyone, welcome back to the Rimu Class Blog for 2021!!

Rimu has changed quite a bit since 2020. We have - 

18 new faces 

and 

3 familiar faces from last year. 

Can you spot our returning Year 8 Leaders??


Our first week has been full of learning the ropes in class and... swimming in our school pool! 

If you are new to this blog and haven't been here before, if you are a family member of one of our 21 2021 students, or if you are here and you like what you see, SUBSCRIBE and leave us a comment!

We have been EXTREMELY busy/productive in Rimu so far this term...

Here's a list of our antics so far - 

  • Athletics Practices
  • Disco
  • National Young Leaders Day
  • Athletics Day
  • Clued up Kids / Chch City Experience
  • Athletics Zones
  • Softball Training
  • Kapa Haka - Cultural fEstival preparations

And coming up next week we have - 
  • A Mufti Day to raise $$ for our new playground
  • ASB Getwise workshops
  • A Teacher Only Day
  • (and Show Day with no show...)
  • AND more Assessment... Doh! and only 3 days!
🎂

It is even Birthday season again in Rimu 
with 6 birthdays in 9 days!
HB to - 
Mia, Delilah, Lucas, Alan, Albin and Olivia!

🥳

So, this term we have learnt that when we are busy, kindness goes a long way. 
Oh and we also made this video (at the end of last term).



We have also learnt that managing our time is very important to get our work done. We have been given a lot of trust this term and it is up to us to prioritise, plan, and produce what is due by the end of each week. Some of us are learning quickly and others are making progress. 

We can't wait for all the exciting things that are still coming this term - there are so many and we'll try to share as many with you as we can!
So stay tuned!
