of the races. If you are there, you are able to take your child home with

The intended track is the same as last year, as long as the conditions
are good. The children will be starting and finishing on the Rail Trail
just over the Manuherikia Little Valley Bridge where we started and
finished last year. Please park in the car park to your left directly across
the Rail Trail Bridge. The school will be congregating and sitting just along
from here.

This is an adventurous course and we need plenty of adult marshalls.
If you are able to help with marshalling please
let Mr Yeoman know ASAP.

Studyladder Passwords
Following discussion with some parents at the interviews, each child now has a Studyladder password in their homework book. To log in, you just google Studyladder NZ and add your child's user name and password. This is a fun programme for children to practise Maths skills. They play games and earn gold coins which they can spend to decorate their online bedroom. I have included 3 different pods for Room 7: easy, medium and hard - your child probably knows which level best suits them, but if you sit with them you will see if they are managing the tasks. Unfortunately this programme will only work on computers or laptops (it costs $98 extra per family to have access to all the activities and for the programme to work on all devices).
Action Stations
We would like to add a technology station that involves taking things to bits. If anyone has any old electronic devices at home that could be unscrewed, or any spare screwdrivers, could you please send these along to school.
Gymnastics
We have Gymnastics with Kelly Club every Wednesday for the next seven weeks. Children need to wear their sports uniform each Wednesday.
Assembly
Room 2 and 7 are leading school assembly this Friday. If you are free, please join us in the hall at 2.15.
Have a great week,
Sue and Kate
