    Kia ora. Well done on submitting your first Year 8 Assessment Task.  You must be feeling very proud of yourselves.  Ka Pai! I will be working through marking them all over the next week or so.  Please don't ask when you will be getting your grades back, I need to mark everyones, and do some moderation with other teachers before I can publish them.  I want to make sure you are given the grades your work deserves!  This week, we are going to reflect on the learning we have done so far this term.  Miss Bryce is also going to take the opportunity to take some lessons.  Remember, she is used to teaching students in an American High School, so this is your opportunity to show her how amazing ākonga in Aotearoa are! (And remember to watch out for April Fool's Day on Saturday!)
