During the holidays 2R 2008 Portal will belcome _R 2009 Portal. The 2008 Portal will still be available to browse and can be found on the menu on the side.

We have had a fantastic year this year and I thought I would do something special for all of you. I have created a professionally published book called ‘2R 2008′ and filled it with photos and text of activities we have done this year. The book size is 17.8cm x 17.8cm square.

The first 15 pages of the book can be previewed by clicking on the picture on the right, then click Preview. You can then purchase the book (US$14.95 + US$13 shipping) on the same web page by just adding the quantity (1 or more) into your cart. Then click checkout and register your details.

Note: Cheaper shipping is available if I purchase in bulk, AU$6 express per book.

Total costs including bulk shipping:
AU$29 per book with premium paper 

If you send your child in with the money (prefer cash or ask for bank details) by Monday 8th December,  I will then place a bulk order on Tuesday 9th December.

These books will most likely be available after the school holidays.

The photos were taken with my iPhone (1.3 mega pixels) and may not always be the best. My DSLR camera would have taken much better pictures though the iPhone is just so much more convenient.

In Term 1 we discussed good safety habits and I would like you to complete this Internet Safety Quiz to help remind you. Some questions in the quiz we have not discussed, like chat rooms (Question 2). I am sure though that you will be able to work out the correct answer.
