Term 1 Week 5

Hi everyone! What a fantastic response last week with homework posts. There were almost 50 comments posted. Keep up the great work this week. Try to practise the spelling rules, dictation passage and write out the handwriting passage if you wish. Remember these passages all contain spelling words and will help you to learn the rules by Friday.
Next week's News topic is to talk about school - your favourite subjects, why school is important, etc. It would be good to prepare yourself for your talk next week.
A reminder about Walkathon sponsors - you have three weeks to collect as many sponsors as possible and raise some funds for your library.
Enjoy your day off tomorrow! The teachers wish they were getting a sleep-in also. :)
Studyladder tasks have been posted for Cook class.
Have a great week!
