All the best for your big move Elizabeth, Clearview School are really lucky to have you. We will miss you and know you will be amazing!

Top Team
Our Year 5-8s had a blast this morning rotating around 12 fun activities with a team from their house. Some got really wet at the water activities. Some found co-ordinating their jumping and stepping really hard! It was hilarious to watch some of the teams working together.
Well done R12 for having so much fun towards the end of a great term.

Speeches
Room 12 have blown me away.
Each year I have a class that does speeches, each year there are some pretty bad presentations. BUT, not this year!! Everyone outdid themselves with their preparation, their confidence in front of an audience, and their choice of topic.
We had people speaking about energy drinks, about tornadoes, about whales, about food, about exercise. We have been thoroughly entertained all week with wonderful speeches.
This afternoon we had a pressure cooker speak-off to select our two participants in Monday's speech finals. Paige, Louie, Isabella and Finn were fantastic and it was very difficult to choose. Isabella, speaking on energy drinks, is our reserve, Finn, speaking on a parent tranquilizer, and Louie, speaking on NZ's population of couch potatoes, will represent us.
Congratulations to you all, best of luck to Louie and Finn.

CAMP!
Wow! How can I possibly only mention a few of the highlights of our fabulous camp?
First of all, and most importantly, these kids were amazing! I can't remember having to have a grumpy word with anyone from our class. They pushed themselves outside their comfort zone, they included others, they gave everything a go, and they did all of this with huge smiles on their faces. I was so proud of them all.
Many told me that their highlights were...
A huge thank you to our wonderful parents, we could not have done this without you.
Room 12, I told you this would be a highlight of our year together!

Many told me that their highlights were...

- low ropes
- orienteering
- the farm visit
