Dear Parents,
I hope you all enjoyed your Anzac weekend and maybe managed to get to a memorial parade - either in Clyde or Alex (or other).  We held our own little memorial service at school on Friday afternoon which was just lovely - all classes were involved and each contributed something.  Room 3 presented a hand wreath and also read a poem.

Kapahaka Uniforms
There are still a few outstanding Kapahaka uniforms from the group's performance last term. Can these please be returned to school A.S.A.P.  Your children know what this acronym means if you are up for a pop quiz!

Science
This week Room 3 will have Mr Hogue for a science session on Wednesday afternoon.

Homework
This week there will be reading books coming home each night - except Friday when poems come home - and also spelling words to learn.  We will do conducting and part/sound lines during class time and the children are to practice spelling their words each night at home.  If you have any questions regarding this please do not hesitate to pop in and see me.

WW100 Display and Memorial Walk
I am hoping to take the class down to the town library where there is a display for the WW100 commemoration happening in 2015.  I would also like to pop over to the war memorial at the same time.  To do this I would need some parent help.  If you could lend a hand on Friday morning from 9.30am to do this, please let me know.  I will need 3 parents to do this.

Maths
As part of our Geometry unit I am encouraging the class to get to know their left and right sides.  Feel free to help me out here and talk about this at home too.

One more thing - Check out these lucky kids who got to make ANZAC cookies in the staffroom with Loretta!  The top pic shows the children reading some facts about the cookies and how we came to still be baking them - aren't they good little students!

Have a great week.

Carolyn.
