Hello Room 9 students and Room 9 families :-)
Welcome to Room 9 for 2011! I am really looking forward to this year , and getting to know yet another super bunch of students!
We have a busy and exciting Term 1 ahead of us, with lots happening every week. The key is to get yourselves organised and not leave things until the last minute! Having your PE gear every day, having homework in on time, and generally using your initiative are really important in Room 9.
Some Important Dates to Note:
Our swimming sessions start next week, and will lead up to our school swimming sports on Friday 11th March. Make sure you have your togs and towel on these days - Thursday 10th Feb 1.30-2pm, Thursday 17th Feb 1.30-2pm, Thursday 24th Feb 1.30-2pm, Thursday 3rd March 1.30-2pm. Each swimming lesson costs $3.30 or $13.20 if you are paying for the lot at once.
We also have to look forward to this term: Portobello Aquarium trip, Year 8 sasa, Year 8 triathlon and most importantly BERWICK CAMP!!... there will be more details about all of these later.
This Friday your baby photos and letters to me are due, and next Friday the 11th Feb the rest of your It's All About Me project is due. I'm looking for great content and presentation in your first assignment of 2011.
That's enough from me now... it's awesome to have you all in Room 9 this year, it's going to be a goodie!! Remember if you have any questions/problems about anything please come and see me.
For parents if you need to contact me please phone me at school on 466 7251, email me at lroney@balmacewen.school.nz, or pop into Room 9 anytime!
Miss Roney
