Welcome to 2015

First Day Back and General Class Information #1

What a great day, all students have made a fantastic start and the signs are good for a very successful year ahead.
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you as Room 9/10 parents for 2015.
Please take a few minutes each day to let your child tell you about Room 9/10 and how we work. There may be a few concerns about class expectations and procedures. This usually disappears after the first week.
All students have been given labelled equipment to use in the classroom. This equipment will stay in their tray and any other pencil cases they have can be kept at home for homework tasks.
We encourage students to have water bottles in the classroom. Raw fruit and vegetable snacks are also encouraged for brain break eating throughout the day.
Thanks to the parents who sent a box of tissues to school today. We would appreciate each family donating a box of tissues for class use.
We will cover Homework, Curriculum & Behaviour Management expectations and any other class information in the next letter.
This year most communication will be through the blog rather than using a diary. If you need to write to us please do so in the back of the Spelling Test book. Confidential notes will need to be in a sealed envelope.
We hope that all families will be able to access and participate in the class online Hub and be an active member of the Ardtornish Google Community. We have found this to be a very successful communication tool especially when parents can access the information via their phone.

Executive Committee

Thank you to all the students who have applied for the Executive Committee and those who were successful. Your work over the weekend will help decide the president for this year.

It is quite amazing that we are now looking at sharing over $4000. So exciting.

Thank you to all of you and your friends and families. Our charity marathon was a huge success with over $2000 raised.

Thank you again.

Charity Marathon on Thursday

We are aware of Thursday's prediction being 35 degrees. We will be continuing with the current plans as we start at 9:10 and will be done by 10:50. Hopefully we should be in before temperatures begin to soar. Please make sure you apply sunscreen before school so we can get going as soon as possible.

The focus for all students this week is to have the sponsorship forms ready for the Charity Marathon on Thursday morning. They need to also make sure they have a hat and good sports shoes ready for the day. Please apply sunscreen before school to assist us with the preparation.

Oh My Hot Dog!

With 200+ orders for Monday we are so happy for our Charity Fund, but a little scared about the frenzied kitchen. Please cross your fingers for all of us.
Thank you for your orders

Charity Marathon 2014

The Charity Marathon note and sponsorship form has been given to every child in the classroom today. The sponsorship form is on the back. We hope that we can finish our charity fundraising strongly. If there are any questions or more sponsorship forms needed, don't hesitate to ask.

Document Sharing Error

I apologise to any students who started on their charity work last night.
I accidentally shared a copy to each student rather than sharing a shared copy for multiple users.
If work has been done it can easily be cut and pasted from the first document to the new document called Class Charity 2014 - shared document both of which are in their Other Areas folder.
(Ctrl C and Ctrl V to cut and paste)
Thank you to Deacon for his question
I will discuss it on Monday
