Term 3 Reflection


Term 3 has been huge! It has been fast paced and there have been many highlights. I was incredibly impressed with the speeches that the students in Room 7 created. Many of them have the power to inspire, engage and entertain. I was proud to see so many of them sharing their speeches with their peers and whānau.

Calendar art is looking amazing. If you have an opportunity to view them, make sure you give your self plenty of time. There are some truly excellent pieces of individual creativity amongst them.

I have finally got back to a similar level of fitness from term 1. I am enjoying running again and I have set a new goal of doing our 2.8km morning run, in 10minutes or less. My current PB is 10.06 and my average is north of 12minutes. It will be done by the end of Term 4.

Have a fantastic break.

Cheers,

Mr McAulay

  1. hi Mr McAulay
    this really explains your tiredness from dealing with room 7 like the loud ones (me) by the way you look about 30 years older

      I will try to include a few more images for my next reflection. How old does the emoji make me look?

      Room 7 thought it makes me look like I am 67 years-old...
