Homework Term one Week Four (Feb 16th-20th)

Well done everyone on such a great job of research last week, I was very impressed with the efforts of most of you! Because of your hard work we have no topic homework for this week, I expect your other tasks to be completed to an extra high standard as a result. Let’s get our spelling off to a great start! Many of you will also be working on your house leadership speech.

Task One: Current Events

If you are on Current Events any time this week (see the timetable on the board in Rm 6) please be prepared, complete the tasks outlined in the Current Events scrapbook and return the book to school the next day.

Task Two: Spelling

You should each have your list of words for this week. In class we have done your ‘tooling’. If you need to repeat this at home to be confident with your words for this week then please do. Test your words every night and be ready for a spelling test on Friday.

Task Three: Reading

Great to see people getting organized with reading books and enjoying some reading time last week. Please spend at least 15 minutes each night reading your book. Please write a short summary of what’s been happening in your book (around 5-10 lines). This would include the main events and a description of some of the main characters. I’m looking forward to hearing about your books.

Notices:

-Wed 18th, 12 noon, Ash Wednesday Mass.

-Thurs 19th 1.30pm, New Zealand Playhouse, school visit.
