Well, we had a fantastic visit to Willowbank this morning. The children were well behaved, were attentive to our guides, were keen to learn from them and were keen to share what they had learned. And thankfully, the rain held off 'till just before we left.
Thank you Bronwyn, Felicity, Jill and Treacy for your help today, I really appreciated your support.
Not too much to report really. We did some skipping...
...and wrote a card for the parents on the IWB...
('Twas a bit of a rushed activity. Sorry.)
...and some even decided that they want to try out for the Room 2 Jump Jam team.
Auditions will be on Monday. Possibly even tomorrow afternoon, though I'll have to get hold of a disk. Why auditions? Only 12 are allowed in a team, only one team per class. It's all for a Jump Jam Extravaganza that is being planned for Wednesday the 27th of October, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. Gold coin entry.
Right, tomorrow.
Well, as near as I can figure it, we're going unless it's raining when we get to school. The children all got a wee notice on their way out this evening saying, and I quote...
Willowbank Trip
As we are out in the open all morning children will wear their sports uniform tomorrow with warm layers underneath, and a jacket if weather looks doubtful!!
They must bring
Morning Tea and Lunch in a named plastic bag. (It will be easier for transporting)
Gumboots if you have them
Sports shoes to change into before getting back on the bus
A plastic bag for muddy boots
Parent helpers please be at school by 9 am so that you can help get your group ready.
Regards,
The J Team
So it looks like I'd best get some groups sorted out then!
Well, mourning only in as far as tomorrow's Willowbank trip has been postponed to Friday. Indeed, I should have handed out a slip of paper this afternoon, but, seeing as it was a piece of paper, I kinda forgot!
So...
Dear Parents,
We made the call today to postpone due to the dubious forecast and the wet ground.
Friday will be the same as Tuesday. The children will wear their sports gear. We are thinking about gumboots but will make that call later in the week. The y are also to bring a named packed lunch.
Regards,
J Team Teachers
Oh, and by the way, I mentioned that the cost for those who want to pay their own way was $12. Turns out, it's $12.50.
As for today, we had us some visitors for Topic this afternoon. Room 11 popped over to watch this jungle movie with us, and then, along with Room 2 we discussed some of the things we learned.
Earlier in the day, Blue Reading Group shared today's text...
Very cool.
Right, now to prepare for tomorrow's unexpected reading lesson!
Our trip to Willowbank has been postponed, due to the dubious forecast for tomorrow.
We're trying for Friday. So, if indeed its a goer, the children are to come to school on Friday in their sports gear and gumboots - even if it's dry, it'll still be wet underfoot.
We were so impressed with all three classes, they were the most well behaved kids I've ever come accross and we had a fantastic time showing them around.
