20/40 Hour Famine and Chocolate Money

There are still some families in Room 5 who need to send in the 20/40 Hour Famine sponsored money.  There are also the proceeds of the Chocolate Fundraiser.  It would be good to have these monies back at school before the end of term.

Mathsathon

Please send your child's Mathsathon form to school on Monday.  All children are being tested on Monday and their score will be written on the sponsor form and sent home again on Monday.  Please collect the sponsored money and return this and the form to school by Friday.

Three Way Conferences Next Week

The three way conferences are being held on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.  Please ring the office to book your interview.  We have all been working hard all year and I know that Room 5 students have got lots that they want to share.

Thank You

A big thank you to Daisy, Amber, Marjolein (a Room 6 parent), and Katrina who put so much time and energy into making our cushion making experience so enjoyable. A huge thank you also to Jennifer Bourne who spent a day with us, despite not having children at our school.  And finally, thank you Nana Cheryl for your very generous delivery of cushion stuffing.   The students and I really appreciate the time and support that you have all put into helping bring our cushion ideas alive.   Please feel free to come and view their masterpieces on display in Room 5.

We Need You!!!

Hi Parents

Please hunt out the green form that your child child brought home last week asking for help to create our cushions.  The support received by Room 6 parents who have offered to work in Room 6 has been overwhelming compared to the one parent who has offered to come and support Room students.  We need your help to make this an learning opportunity worthwhile.  If you are able to offer your time please fill this form in and return it to school tomorrow.  Your help is needed urgently!

Students also need to bring to school stuffing to fill their pillows.  We have provided lots of felt material and calico to make these wonderful creations but a pillow doesn't look very flash flat. If you have any old pillows please can you send the stuffing to school for your child to use.

Thanks in anticipation
Sonya Harris

Book Club Closes This Week

Please have any book club orders at school by this Wednesday 25th June.

Innovation and Enterprise Inquiry

This week we are focusing on our Inquiry project.  Room 5 and Room 6 will be working closely together to create a prototype of our cushions.  Please talk to your child about their vision for their cushion.  If you have any scraps of materials, felt, lace, cottons that can be used please send these to school with your child in a named plastic bag.  Mrs Goodman and I have been shopping for the basic materials so that we can make a start tomorrow .

 If you have any time this week when you are available to help out please look at the timetable on our wall.  So far we have had one parent offer help this week but we need a lot more support.  You do not have to have expert sewing ability, be able to thread and need and talk to students about their ideas will be much appreciated.  I see the Room 5 focus for being dyeing and painting fabric.

Please let me know if you are able to help by filling in the green form that was sent home last week or by ringing me at school.
