Term 2 Timetable Trial
Staff have been considering altering bell times and doing a trial in Term 2 because we are finding the hour block from 11.30-12.30pm at the moment a little short so are considering the following change:
9-11 Literacy, 11-11.30 Interval 11.30-1pm Numeracy 1-2 Lunch 2-3 Topic etc
Junior classes particularly would have two small fruit/snack breaks during the Literacy Numeracy blocks. We welcome any feedback Whanau may have regarding the trial.
