Homework

It seems to me that this is a great forum for parents to check up on homework expectations. So I will be advising what is due. Usually this entails incomplete work as well as maths in the homework book.
I will list what is now overdue, if parents/caregivers could check that their student has handed this in, thank you.
* Iditarod Information Report
* Maths page from end of term 1
*Advertisement noted from TV/Radio or page from magazine.
*Descriptive paragraph or two about their bedroom
* Reading a personal novel
*Character doll -this has actually already been marked
*Venn diagram of a character from their novel -at the beginning & the end of the novel.
