Busy week Wrapped up

Another busy week has come to an end. Particular kudos should go to the two teams at the Canterbury OTD current events quiz. 

Our A team of Matt, Aaron and Alex came in the top 30 and beat our school year 8 team. Our B team of Nikhil, Taiiba and Jacob came in the 'top' 70. 

Alex has also had success in our school Speech competition, coming second with her speech on 'Kindness being the greatest invention'. 

Congratulations must also go to Olivia and Sarah who also spoke impressively during the speech finals. 

Well done guys!

Pap High Roadshow

Today we went to the Papanui roadshow. It was awesome, all the musicians were incredible and played beautifully. I really enjoyed the guitar group and the saxophone group they played 

really amazing. The Papanui roadshow gave the students at Casebrook a taste of what Papanui high school to offer.

The New Room 5 Logo!

Here is the Room 5 Logo as voted by the class. It was created by Tai-iba and the students are really proud of her. It was a tough decison as there were some really cool options, particularly, Mina's one but all in all we're happy to have such an excellent logo to represent the people in our classroom. You can expect to see this on our Room 5 wall, door, blog and anything else connected with Room 5.
