Passport to the Pacific

Remember you will be completing a final report on the country you are studying and you will be preparing a display of your country for the Passport to the Pacific. I would highly recommend you get books about your country from the library, or do some internet research so that you will be able to complete your report. We will be working on this in class (throughout our lessons) in the coming weeks.

Please bring any questions you have to class for us to discuss.

Book Talks

Book Talks have been moved until after the Easter Break. This is a result of other things coming up and the proper teaching and grading criteria has not been given. Please enjoy some Easter Break reading. Your book MUST be finished by the time you come back to school.

If any family gets the newspapers and can provide copies for others in the class please email me and let me know. Thanks!
