Welcome back to Term 3. I hope you all had a restful holiday. Thanks to Mike Paniflow, Mike Hughes, Peter Hansen, Sarah Corkery and Leanna Roberts for giving up their time to come on camp with us. We had a wonderful time and fantastic weather.

Some important dates to keep in mind.

Speeches will also be held at the second half of the term for the Speech Competition.

3 Way Conferences will be held later this term.

Athletics will be later this term as well. We will start training for this in week 8 of the term.

The term newsletter is down the bottom of our wiki. Please have a read of it if it hasn't come home already!

Please check our Wiki often as we will be updating this regularly with work and other things like links to educational websites that children may find helpful to use at home.

Children will receive a homework sheet on Monday. They have until Friday to complete this. Your help and encouragement is really important for your children when doing this. The spare homework notices will be kept to the RIGHT of the whiteboard. It is the children's responsibility to get their own sheet if they are away on Monday. If they are not at school on the Friday, I will mark it for them on Monday morning before school. If there is a really good reason why the children have not completed their homework, please write a note. We would like the children to learn self management and time management skills, so spreading the homework out over 4 days is better than leaving it until the last minute on a Thursday night. As an added incentive, we are having a games day on the last day of the term for all children who have completed 9 out of 10 lots of homework.
 * HOMEWORK AND SPELLING**

The children are now doing the Peter De Ath 'You can spell' programme. It involves the children pre-testing on a Monday and post-testing on a Friday. The amount of words that your child may receive can vary. Some words may appear easy - but your child will not have spelt this word correctly in the pre-test.

Children are expected to read every night for **15 minutes**.
