Weekly newsletter for week 7



Room 6 Newsletter Term 1 Week 7
Conferences
Just a reminder that regular classes finish at 12.30 on Thursday.
If your supervision arrangement for Thursday changes please email me (or phone the school office if it changes on Thursday).
If you have not yet booked a time to meet me yet, there are still times available
The school code is ust2q
A copy of the letter is uplaoded to the class blog.

Mathletics Homework
As part of the homework programme, we encourage students to spend approximately 3 x 20 minutes on Mathletics during the course of the week.
Tips and Pointers:
The ? button on the right-hand side will go through an activity step by step. This will help explain how to complete an activity if you’re stuck.
The speaker symbol indicates that if you click on the words, the computer will read them aloud.
Students should complete each activity twice. Each time there will be new questions. This will help develop mastery of the concept.
Points are allocated when an entire activity is completed.
1000 points are needed to gain a bronze certificate.
Mathletics is also part of the classroom programme.
If you have any questions, please email either Katherine or Judy and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Swimming
The pool should be open again next week. Let’s hope there is no more vandalism.
Room 6 will not be swimming on Wednesdays anymore. Just Tuesdays and Thursdays

Road Patrol
Granny Mary, who very kindly gives up her time to supervise the crossing before and after school every day, is away for the next two weeks.
If you are available to supervise road patrol, even for one morning or afternoon during the next two weeks, it would be much appreciated.
Mornings: 8.25 - 8.50 approximately
Afternoons: 2.55 - 3.15 (12.25 - 12.45 on Thursday) approximately
Email me if you are able to help.

Library
Our class library days are on Tuesday.  Please make sure your child returns their library books on this day as they are unable to get any new books until they have been returned.  If they would like to reissue the book because they are not finished this is also fine, they need to bring it on Tuesday to reissue it.
