    Seek after learning for the sake of your wellbeing

    Kia ora. Welcome back to Term 4!  I hope you had a good break, I have taken advantage of the opportunity to get used to daylight savings time, and watching it get brighter earlier in the morning.  This term we are going to focus on individual areas of need - you will think about what you need to learn/work on and will be given an opportunity to create your own plan/strategy for success.  We are going to begin with written language - think about what area you need to work on - your literacy eReport from the end of last year may guide you here, as will any written assessment task comments (regardless of the curriculum area involved).
