Note from Miss Taylor
Dear Room 7, I have been away sick from school as you will all well know. I know many of you will be anxious to start your science fair investigations this week so I have spoken to Mrs Monk about your science fair requirements as I know some of you will need to get started very soon on your investigations. She will have spoken to you about writing your topic into an aim that you can test and a method that you can follow to show how you will test it. You will have done some work on variables, which you can include in your experiment. You will need to test more than one variable in your science fair if possible. I hope to be back at school tomorrow (Thursday). I hope you are all having a good week and enjoying the beautiful weather! Miss Taylor

=SCIENCE FAIR=

We will be doing science fair conferencing each day this week and next week, so your homework will mainly consist of researching your topic, writing up a method and hypothesis and setting up experiments. We will discuss each day what needs to be done that night as it will differ for everybody. If you need to grow plants or your science fair involves something that needs to be started in the next week you will be conferenced first. We will also be using class time to work on the planning stages, experiments are to be done at home. [|Science fair project ideas] for those who are still trying to think of a topic!!

**Parents please read**
If you have any questions regarding science fair please do not hesitate to send me an email at **rachel@bbi.school.nz**. Science Fair boards are for sale at the office for $10 each. They come in blue, yellow, red, green, black and white. [|Steps of a science fair project] - This site outlines 'How to do a science fair project'. We have covered and will continue to cover these steps in class this term but it may be useful for parents to know what is expected and to be able to support the science fair process at home.

=World Vision= Congratulations to all of you who did the World Vision Famine at the weekend. You can feel very pleased that you have put yourself in someone else's shoes and raised money for a very worthwhile cause. Now you need to collect in the money from your sponsors and bring it in to school with your booklet once it is all collected.
