Dear Parents/Guardians
Just a reminder that student-led conferences will be held this Wednesday 25th and Thursday 26th of June. This means that on both days school will close at 12 pm. If you are unable to pick up your children at that time just e-mail Mr Maindonald at macash@mac.com and your children will be looked after by our Deputy Principals in the hall until 3 pm.
See you all soon hopefully!

21st Century Room 25
The BYOD is going great!
On Tuesday we were able to do some research on the plight of the orangutans for our Report Writing. While not everyone was able to bring a device we managed well by sharing our devices as well as using the class devices. The students were on task and very engaged.

BYOD - Bring your own device
Dear Parents/Guardians,
To support our learning in class I would like to offer my
students the opportunity to bring their own devices from home. Devices such as i-pads,
kindle, tablets to use during our SSR time and devices with internet
capabilities such as i-pods or laptops for research support are welcome. These
will be locked away in my cupboard during our morning tea and lunch breaks to
ensure they stay safe.
It is not compulsory for your child to bring a device to
school and they must obtain your permission to do so. If you have any questions
please feel free to e-mail me at stefaniet@westernheights.school.nz
Kind regards
Mrs Tipi

Donations!
This is a message from a few Room 25ians:
Hi, our
names are Bradley, Logan, Norbu, Kieran and Taine. We have chosen to collect
things for the Salvation Army as part of our ‘Pay it Forward’ homework
challenge.
The
Salvation Army works hard to help people in need. We would like to support them
by collecting any canned food, books, toys, puzzles, linen, clothes, shoes or
any other household items that you can spare. (Please check with mum and dad
first though!)
We will be
collecting these items in Room 25 until the end of
term 2.
Any contributions will be greatly appreciated!

Farewell Ms Woolford
Farewell and Good Luck!!
This week we farewelled our wonderful student teacher Ms Woolford. Ms Woolford had been with us once a week since the middle of last term. We thoroughly enjoyed having her in our class and she we will be sorely missed. We surprised her with a card and we shared all the things we enjoyed doing with Ms Woolford. On top of the list were the German Karnival Masken, divisibility rules, science experiments and facts about cockroaches...
We wish you well Miss Woolford!!
