Wet Day Monday

Good afternoon,


Oh what a lovely day!



And that's all we have to say about that.

Umm, didn't get our Big Questions written down for our inquiry. We ran a little late with R.E and handwriting...and I got distracted by playing this...


...and this!


The children did at least start thinking and verbalizing what they might like to find out about our Defense Force.

I would encourage you to talk to them about it at home, just to stir the thinking pot, so to speak. Ideally, we're after Why, How, Who questions, but What questions should be ok too. So long as they don't have an easy or quick answer! "Why did New Zealand fight in WW2?" is a good inquiry question. "When did WW2 start?" is not!

As I said in the newsletter, I'll be working closely with the Year 1s, the Year 2s will be in small groups and trying to go it alone!

Other than that, tomorrow looks to be much the same as today. No P.E. tomorrow, P.E.'s on Thursdays now.

Oh, and Pedometers / My Greatest Feat journey/exercise/thingie. We'll be keeping track of the children's numbers here at school, rather than for you to do it at home. Each Room 2 child has been assigned a senior to do it for them. Please remind your children to bring them to school.
