Week 5 Notices

We will be making our solar ovens at school this week. Can you please send along some aluminium / tin foil (enough to cover one pizza or shoe box), glad wrap or clear plastic (half a metre). If you have pizza boxes, please send them along. I will collect enough shoe boxes from the shoe shop for every child. We will be warming up our lunch in the solar ovens so children will need to bring along suitable food to be warmed. Alternatively, we might try making marshmallow melts (a biscuit with a couple of marshmallows on top!). If any kind parents would like to donate a bag of marshmallows, we would be grateful.

Friday Cross Country
We still require transport to go to the Redwoods on Friday at lunchtime. If anyone can help, please let me know. There is also a form that was sent home last week.
Children will eat lunch before we go. They will need their PE gear to change into and a water bottle to take to the Redwoods. Children will take their bags with them as they will need to be picked up from the Redwoods site at 2.30pm.

Examples of learning can be found when you go to the 'Shared Learning' tab.

Some of the ANZAC poems are now on display in our school library.

Library: Every Thursday

Homework
New homework has been set. There are also a number of links for children to access at the end of this weeks homework. Children will be researching these links to help them with their writing this week.

Healthy Lunch Competition
There will be a healthy lunch competition for Years 3 - 6. Children can take a photograph of their healthy lunch and write a paragraph explaining what they have chosen to eat and why it is healthy. Entries can be sent to Mrs Todd by the 28th of May. sherylt@stmarysrotorua.school.nz
