media type="custom" key="8984400"

On this page I will set weekly homework. Sometimes the homework may require posting on the Wiki space and sometimes I will just be putting it up as a reminder to students and parents. Any questions about the homework set email me at m_morris@pukekoheint.school.nz.

Room 36 has now been informed and given an example about the reading logs they need to do as an ongoing homework task. Please ensure that you have a minimum of 3 entries and if you lose the exemplar I can re-print or email home.
