BASE SCIENCE COMPETITION 2009
With reference to the above, due to time constraints (Set by BASE) we will be assisting the students to help them complete the projects on time. Work will be divided out by the teachers and simple tasks will be given as homework.
We seek parents co-operation to help us encourage the students to complete this homework and possibly add on to it more interesting details so that it will be interesting for other students to read when we display it on Saturday, 16th May 2009.
Marks for YEAR 4 for SPN 21 will only be taken from the feild trip. For your referral and to clarify how SPN 21 works, please find attached the breakdown of how marks are awarded to students throughout the year that will be totalled and put towards the final mark ( SBE).
Any parent who unsure, or wants to discuss further regarding SPN 21 are most welcome to approach either Myself or Teacher Mandy.
Thank You
Teacher Lisa
