We ate some Pancakes for Shrove Tuesday -thank you to all the people who sent in some yummy toppings. Thanks to Brooke for taking the photos and Mrs Stevenson for her help.
We made our Promises which we offered to God at our Promise Ceremony on Tuesday and then we went to Mass on Ash Wednesday and all received ashes on our heads. We went for a Lent walk around the school and started a collection of 40 things.
We have been logging into out Google Apps accounts everyday so that we can get better at this. We learnt how to make a table in Google Docs and how to change the font, the size of the font and colour of the tables.
We have started to use our Middle School Google Site for our learning. You are able to see what the students are learning on it -sometimes there will be more than this weeks work up on the site- we do ask the students only to do the current or past weeks learning work - a good skill for them to learn or they may get confused as teacher sessions for learning occurs alongside the slides.

Thank you to all those people who have sent in Gala items, Imogen has done a great job in counting and recording the houses for me.
Excellent news - our class will be having a maths program this year called Maths Whizz. Last year Mr Bach and Mrs Rush's classes trialled it and it is a very excellent programme- the progress students made was excellent. Students are able to use this at home and at school; it is great for extra maths homework and reading at the same time. Hopefully it will all get sorted this week.
My new email address in lynleys@stmarysrotorua.school.nz if you would like to email me, although the old email address will be forwarded to my inbox still.
We have swimming this week so please remember your togs. The Kick It man did not come last week - so we may have our catch up lesson this week.
