    Overcome your fear

    Kia ora. We are about to enter a really busy time of the year.  You have asTTle testing this week, and your CATs start next week.  This can be a challenge - both with time and stress about preparation.  Remember to take time to relax and rest.  You have prepared for English, so just need to give yourself the opportunity to show what you can do.  Use the time you are given, don't panic or rush.  Read and reread the question and use all the comprehension strategies we have revised. Please remember to bring any library books you have finished reading back to school.  I am happy to drop them down to the library for you.
