Welcome back everyone!!
This week, we are assembling our maths notebooks. We hope that these will be of use for you not only this year, but in the coming years.
This is due on Friday
Also, if you didnt get your Celebrations title page done, please have this done by Wednesday.
Maths Badges - I have not seen many of these activities...remember to bring them to school so that if you have a moment, then you can work on them. Plus remember that you can have class time to do them on Fridays.
Spelling Lists - all groups should have their spelling words for the week to take home by Tuesday.
All reading/spelling/maths groups have a number of activities to complete this week. Try getting in the habit of taking work to finish if you dont get it finished in class. These are not set homework activities, but more to start get you in the habit of finishing work without always needing to be told.
A great social bookmarking site/thing is http://delicious.com/, and I have set up one for martinborough school...http://delicious.com/martinboroughschool. This is where we can all save our favourites so that everyone at school can share them...MORE about this later this term.
Reminders - Lamb and Calf day next Tuesday; Next Friday is a Teacher Only Day; Week 3 Monday is Labour Day...and of course make sure that you mark in your diary 31 Oct as the Taarga Rally Day.
