Week 5

Kia Ora and welcome to Room 15 for 2014.

All information relating to our class including homework tasks, newsletters, reminders, successes and much more can be found on this website.

This week is Week Five. This week we have Goal Setting Conferences happening on Tuesday and Thursday. A reminder that school finishes early on Tuesday and you will be allowed to go home at 1.25pm. School finishes at the usual time on Thursday.

Please make sure that you are Organised Learners and have all of the equipment that you need for all of your learning at all times – this includes having your togs for swimming.

I am still waiting for some of you to return your SMP forms – these were due back at the beginning of Week 3. Please return these as soon as possible. If you need another form please let me know.

Immunisation forms need to be returned as soon as possible. There are still some of you who need to pay $7 for the Science Roadshow that is coming in Week 8. This was on your Stationery list and is a compulsory part of our Science unit and is a fantastic opportunity for all of you to participate in some hands on Science experiments.

School photos are next week so if you are wanting to purchase any photos you need to return the photo envelope that you were given last week.

We are in great need of families who would be willing to home host a Japanese student for a couple of weeks. If you think that your family would like to enjoy a new experience by having a male Japanese student stay with you please collect a notice, or ring the school office, from the school office. All of the information can be found in this notice.

PE & ACTIVATE

This year our PE days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. For most of the first term this means swimming and you are required to have your togs with you on these days. If for any reason you are unable to swim you must have a note explaining why you are not swimming and for how long you will not be swimming for and this note MUST signed by your parents / caregivers.

As Term One goes on we will be starting other PE lessons and you are required to wear your PE uniform for these sessions. We will also be going out for Activate on Mondays and Thursdays, which means that your PE uniform should be at school 5 days a week, every week!

HOMEWORK

Tasks are given out on Mondays and are expected to be completed and handed in on Fridays. You are expected to complete 30 minutes of homework EVERY night.

Your tasks are due back by FRIDAY 7^TH MARCH.
