Exciting Thursday

Good afternoon,

Well, we had a bit of excitement to liven up our day today (like over and above the normal excitement that livens up our day...). Just as we were sitting down to write what we had just talked to each other about...


...we had a power surge that tripped the fire alarm. Just as well we had practiced the evacuation procedures. I was very pleased the way the Room 2 Writers filed out quickly and calmly to be joined by the rest of the class on the court from their various interchange classes. So, as the alarm couldn't be shut off for a while, we all had an early morning tea!

After reading, where Blue Reading Group (minus one) read today's book to us...


(Well done girls!)

...we had the laptops back in the room (indeed, they were kinda rained in - it's been too wet to wheel them back!), this time to learn to use the Fill and Text tools...



...and then to enjoy each other's work.


Tomorrow morning we will pull all of the things we've been learning to create digital Galoops!

We ended the day with another reading from our serial story Brave Mama Puss.


It's getting exciting!

On the triathlon front, no, we didn't trot around today, but we will be tomorrow (weather not withstanding), and please plan to bring the bicycles to school on next Tuesday. They will be kept overnight in the hall for practice again on Wednesday and then the big day on Thursday.

Bye for now,

Mr Grant

P.S. well done Grace for answering last night's question. Here's another...

What did Papa Puss hit the robot rats with?

By the way, we saw this clip at our Responsibility Assembly. Since Room 7, Room 8 and Room 9 have got it on their blogs, I thought...why not!
