Week 7 Homework

Thanks to all who came to goal setting last week - if you didnt get a chance to come last week, then please do make a time to catch up.

RUGBY 7's THIS WEDNESDAY in Greytown (tackle). Notices gone out today.

Thanks for feedback about homework...what Sarah (Room 10) and I have done is stagger the weeks so that Room 10 have a different set from Room 8. This may help brother/sister/sibling problems hopefully.

Room 8 from Wednesday will have new spelling words and also a reading book to take home to read to parents each night. Our focus is on building vocab, so are having an intensive 4 weeks on improving our reading and vocab knowledge.

HOT CROSS BUNS forms and orders due in on March 25th (next Wednesday) please.
