A Note to Parents and Caregivers 27th April

Hi Everyone
I hope that you are enjoying your childs Sharing-Book, they have worked very hard to complete them. Please find a wee bit of time to share in their successes. Many have come into school today beaming with stories of parents reading their writing, looking at their artwork or maths samples and giving them praise, awesome to hear! Please return these book next week.
Camp 
Camp fees are now well over due. Room 1,2 and 11 are off to camp next week and we leave the following Wednesday. If you have not paid your childs camp fee, and you wish your child to attend camp, you need to talk to the office or myself urgently. Next week organisation of groups, camp buddies and activities will be starting in preparation. If you know for sure that your child will not be attending camp please let me know before I start this organisation to avoid any dissapointment on the childs, their partner and groups part. Any child not attending camp is expected to be at school and will be placed in another class for the three days.
If you were unable to attend the Camp Parent Meeting this week (for Camp Parents) please catch up with me for a quick chat next week.


If your child is going to be absent from school, and you use email, here is our new email address to let the school know absences@centralnormal.school.nz
You can still phone or txt, this is just another option to keep us informed.


At present we are working on our ANZAC unit. Reading, Writing and Inquiry. The students will be researching with their Thinking Buddy, over the next week, and then presenting their findings to the class.
We have made Anzac Biscuits (posted on our blog) as part of this unit and they have written recounts of the experience.
Our next step is to introduce some procedural writing and Measurement (Maths). As a class we have decided to have some practical application in both these areas by doing some cooking/baking. We will need some assistance with ingredients to do this. Please send in whatever you can (anything is appreciated).
Our first recipe requires;
Flour, Sugar, Cocoa, Chocolate bits (white and milk), Icing Sugar, Butter.
We hope to have this the following day for morning tea and send a piece home for you to enjoy =)


Regards
Tracye
