Take Action For Water

Room 16 Newsletter 3 Take Action For Water Trip This Monday the 28th of May the children will be venturing off on their Take Action For Water trip. We had a huge response to our call for parent help and it was with regret that some of you missed out. Thanks to Debbie Williams, Helen Powdrill, Stephanie Withers and Sonia Parker for providing the support for Mondays trip. This is also a time to remind children to be at school no later than 8.40am on Monday so that we can leave straight away. I have explained to the children that they need to dress warmly and to include a rain jacket and a sensible pair of shoes for walking. The weather is not looking good for Monday but we need to be prepared just in case. Please also ensure the children have enough food and water for the day. Homework - I have spoken to a few parents lately about homework. Children have had homework since the beginning of the term. They have spelling words, Mathletics tasks, Reading and they can use their detective books to write interesting ideas down. Some children will be completing work that is unfinished in class. If the children are not doing any homework at home please email me and I will chase them up. The children have just started using the class blog to write their stories. These are raw pieces of work which is designed to encourage children to write regularly. You can find these stories on http://kyne2012.blogspot.co.nz. I hope you enjoy their work. I have tried to encourage the children to write on the blog at home. They can create an access by joining the followers and writing comments on the blog. Thanks Mark Kyne
