Tuesday No-Willowbank-day

Good afternoon,

Well, we could have gone today, but it would have been rather wet underfoot, and not that warm to boot. To gumboot, in fact.

But I digress.

Today we continued with our time learning. And so, I thought, what would be more appropriate to teach the children that Bill Hayley's Rock Around the Clock. Feel free to sing along at home...

Rock Around the Clock

One, Two, Three O'clock, Four O'clock rock,
Five, Six, Seven O'clock, Eight O'clock rock.
Nine, Ten, Eleven O'clock, Twelve O'clock rock,
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.

Put your glad rags on and join me hon',
We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one.

CHORUS:
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'till broad daylight,
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.

When the clock strikes two, three and four,
If the band slows down we'll yell for more.

CHORUS:

When the chimes ring five, six, and seven,
We'll be right in seventh heaven.

CHORUS:

When it's eight, nine, ten, eleven too,
I'll be goin' strong and so will you.

CHORUS:

When the clock stikes twelve we'll cool off then,
Start rockin' 'round the clock again.

CHORUS:

Then for a bit more writing, a bit more reading, and a hastily planned topic lesson 'stead of singing, for which Room 11 joined us.

We tried to match up some images in the right boxes, but, well...next time I design something like this, I'll make sure the boxes are nice and big for the children to get the images into. Ah well.


After a quick discussion about how God made the kiwi, we demonstrated why He gave the kiwi such strong feet.


To scratch around on the forest floor, of course.

Tomorrow, well, tomorrow will be what tomorrow will be.

Bye for now,

Mr Grant
