Mixing Monday

Good afternoon,

We had a surprisingly laid back day today. Free time reading based activities instead of reading group instruction (I was catching up on a few running records) - so there were no reading books going home from the R2 reading class today.

For R.E. this afternoon, we broached the concept of the Trinity - One God, yet three people.


So to try to illustrate that, we did a bit of a mixing experiment. Three colours into one...





...sorta. (So that's how they make Marmite!)

After completing our handwriting sample, there wasn't a whole lot of time to carry on with inquiry, so I introduced the children to the following activities that I have settled upon for them to carry on with while I work with one group at a time on a rotational basis...


  1. Teacher

  2. Word Find

  3. Battleships

  4. Virtual Frigate

  5. Force Nine

  6. Colour in

  7. Soldiers

  8. Make a tank


We'll try that later in the week (though time is fast running away on me - got some things to catch up on in regards to portfolios that are due out on Friday).

Speaking of portfolios, thank you for the many that have been returned. Ummm, well, it turns out that all but two do not have the space required to be used again, so, umm, sorry, but I'll be sending them home.

I'll just give everyone a new clear file!

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Mr Grant
