Good luck with your Impact challenge homework this week - any problems make sure you ask me. And the week of cross country is here!! Looking forward to seeing some good Room 9 results!!

Homework - Week 4

Well done on completing your Thinkers Key's homework assignment!! I have marked a few of them and they are great! :)

Homework this week is:

SPELLING: List 17 - usual drill, don't forget to use www.spellingcity.com if it helps you learn your words.
CROSS COUNTRY: Cross Country is next week! It has come around quickly... our class training is going superbly, I have been super impressed with everyone's efforts. Try and go for a run or two at home if you have the chance this week.
IMPACT: Look in the newspaper and magazines and see if you can find any letters to the editor regarding issues related to our Impact topic. Cut them out and bring them to school if you find some.

Term 3 Happenings

Hi team - it has been a busy first couple of weeks back and everyone has been super busy. Well done to Kalin, Nick A and Will who gave up their time to be a part of the musicians group in the Recycled production. Awesome job! There have been a number of open days and nights for secondary schools, and Balmacewen's open night is happening this Wednesday.
Don't forget your Thinkers Keys - Saving the World homework assignment is due this Friday - I'm looking for some top work with this! Don't leave it until the last minute! Have a look under useful websites and go to the Sign On Greenpeace website.
The countdown is on for Cross Country - 3 weeks! Try and get some training in at home too and keep in mind the goals that you set at the beginning of the term.

The school ski trip was in the weekend at Cardrona and here is an awesome pic of Courts and Abby :) Have a great week!
