Hi Tui

Just been doing a bit of shopping for our plant work. In the meantime if anyone has a glass jar at home...clean jam jar etc...if you could bring it to school I would really appreciate it. Please be careful transporting that.
Also I've just realised I have no cotton wool at home so if anyone has some that would be appreciated also!
Check your Homework diaries and make sure you've done all the stuff you were asked to do. I'd like a week where no one loses BBF time for silly reasons.

See you tomorrow
Ms D

the Aussies have won so now it's our turn!!

Hi guys, I hope you are enjoying the last few days of the hols?? I have had a marathon of marking so the reading assignments are now marked!! A little gutted at the number that are missing - I trust you have an extremely good reason and it will be waiting for me on Tuesday?? thanks to all the Yr 7s and 2 Yr 8s re the mass. Will the rest of the Year 8's please comment or be prepared to live with the decision!
How is the Gold Day Out planning going? The speeches? Don't put yourself under pressure by not having started this.

Last but not least ...Dont forget your togs and towel for Tuesday - spread the word and write yourself a note - Let's aim for 100%

Go the All Blacks! Mrs J
