Show Day Thursday

What a glorious day. I wonder what temperature it did get up to...100 points to the first person to tell me!

Another rather frantic day was had here today.

Bit of writing...




...and the rest. Red Reading Group didn't read with me this morning as I finished up the last of this round of running records. The next round will begin on Monday!

This afternoon we thought of, wrote and chose the best three questions that we want to answer about our chosen Commonwealth inquiry.

We will begin finding answers to them on Monday.

Speaking of Monday, I won't actually be in the room as I am taking another CRT day to write reports 'n stuff...

Have a great weekend,

Mr Grant

Wild Wet Wellington Wednesday

Good afternoon,

The boys started their day in the manner in which they intended to carry on...


...relaxed!

For Reading Red Group shared a Joy Cowley classic, the Wild Wet Wellington Wind.


(A ministry audio clip of the story can be found here.)

The day ended with a bit of a rush...on books! It was pretty cool to see the children so excited to grab a new book.



And a good time was had by all.

For those of you who are taking a day off to enjoy the show...enjoy the show!

Mr Grant

P.S. R2 R.E. (and R3 R.E.) are having an R.E. assessment tomorrow about Mary. Specifically, why was she Tapu/special/precious to God? Think she had great mana, she was chosen and she said yes!

The children will also be asked about the attributes of a saint. So we discussed that this afternoon as well...

Windy Tuesday

Good afternoon,

This afternoon, after the whole J Team packed into Room 2...





...we went outside for some T Ball.


The ball of which kept being blown off the Tee. Hence the title of this post!

CU tomorrow,

Mr Grant

Oh yeah, and don't forget - tomorrow is library day. Please send back the books.

P.P.S. I didn't read with Blue Reading Group this morning (did some Frogs testing instead), so they are to read through the play this evening, Eggs, Eggs, Eggs!, pp 23 to 31.

Another Monday

Good afternoon,

And welcome to the middle week of the term.

This morning we did some writing...



...some running...


...and some R.E.ing.

We discussed the values that Mary and Joseph would have taught Jesus when he was a boy...


(that the board was supposed to capture, but didn't. Just as well I took a photo of it then. 'Till I get it figured out, I'm better to stick to the Windows Tablet Edition Snipping Tool...)

...and then acted some of them out.



For our Commonwealth Inquiry, I introduced the task that they are now going to be spending their time on...



...and briefly introduced the format that they will be presenting their information. But not for a while yet, they've got to find the information first!

Bye for now,

Mr Grant

Just for Samuel Sullivan

Here you go Samuel,


Now just wait your patience for the next one!

Mr Grant

Oh, and I got the second pen working properly on the IWB this afternoon.

Mr Grant
