Some of the students learnt the value of sealing their bags nice and tight! Salty icecream is never good!

Homework Room 4
Hi all, just a quick note to say that the students have a rather extensive homework sheet in their books tonight.
Don't panic, this is not due until well into the term.
This is meant to be revision, not a stressful time for all and I would far prefer the students to be focusing on extra curricula activities. I totally understand that my students lead very active lives after school and YAY to joining into teams, dance, drama etc!
At times the homework will change to be something we are covering in the class and this will need to be done first.
So, if you feel your child needs a pass for the week, please just sign the homework book and send it back with a 'busy' note.
Feel free to contact me at sipsen@maeroa.school.nz to discuss if necessary.

2014...Oh the places you'll go!
Hi all, hope you are all getting excited about school starting soon!
This term we will be looking at the Dr Seuss Book, "Oh the places you'll go" as part of our work around goal setting and self development.
Our other main theme is "Thinking like a Scientist". This will be something we keep in the forefront of our learning as we explore the topic via our reading writing and science programme.
At the end of March, the Science Roadshow are going to be hosted at our school and on the 2nd April we are having our Science Open Night. Please keep these dates in mind as it would be lovely to see you at the open night!
For the Science Roadshow, $7 is to be paid to the office (Named envelope with Room number) Maeroa Intermediate is part of the Roadshow and more information can be found by visiting the website at: http://www.roadshow.org/content/scienceRoadshow/2014programme.php
A really good explanation of the Koru system for new parents to our school can be found here:

See you all on the 3rd of Feb.
