Homework - Week 5

- Spelling: List 15. Make sure your notebook is signed off!
- Impact: Thinkers Keys - Saving the World. You need to complete any 3 activities. These should be in your homework book. I am expecting a very high standard of presentation with these! You will need to do some research for some of them.
- Reading Challenge: Keep working hard with this! I will be checking where you are at this Friday. Make sure you are writing the title and author, and getting each one signed off.
- Assembly reminder! Make sure you are getting all of your materials together, Wednesday is the  "creating day" :)

Another busy week in Room 8! Southland exchange on Tuesday too. Let me know if you have any questions about homework. Keep that chocolate money rolling in - brownie point if you get it in by Friday!

Room 8 Eco Trip

Room 8 had a great trip out on Monday.  We visited the tropical rainforest at the Museum in the morning, then headed out to the Orakanui Eco-Sanctuary in the afternoon. Comparing the two environments was really interesting and relates to our Impact topic perfectly!
