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

Wednesday's Parish Visit
Good afternoon,
This afternoon, as part of our Church/Belonging R.E. unit, the Year 1s went over to OLA church to identify various bits and pieces.
(And at the same time, the rest of the school piled out in response to an aftershock! Mr A had to come to look for us!)
We then came back to look at the digital resource we use to teach R.E., and low and behold, we found this...
Which caused a bit of confusion, as I thought you crossed your body left to right when saying "and the Holy Spirit. Amen" (ending on your right shoulder). And it turns out, I was right. According to those in the know, it should be like this...
So I was wrong when I told the children that I was wrong! Sorry for the confusion!
Earlier in the day the R2 Jump Jam Team selected the jump jam they would like to jump jam to - The Coconut Song.
Now to start to polish the routine.
Bye for now,
Mr Grant
Oh, and one more thing. Tomorrow the Room 2 Writers (and Rooms 11 and 1 as well) will be doing a summative persuasive writing sample. That is, we're doing an argument writing test! They had their last chance to practice in class this morning, but do feel free to practice one last piece at home tonight. Remember, an argument has...
Good luck!

- and a Conclusion, with "In conclusion, I think"
Good luck!

Assumption Thursday
Good afternoon,
Seeing as we are celebrating the Feast of the Assumption tomorrow, we decided to further the children's learning about it this afternoon.
Speaking of the Feast of the Assumption, the whole school is off to Mass at 0915 tomorrow. The children are to come to school in full school uniform tomorrow - leave the sports gear at home.
Following R.E., the children then got into small groups to sort these 1, 2, 3, 4 cards into the correct order.
CU in the morning,
Mr Grant

Fairy Tale Wednesday
Good afternoon,
This morning, after skipping...
...instead of our normal Reading Interchange, Room 2 trotted back to R2, got changed, paired up...
...quickly drew up a fairy tale of their own (something like this...)
(...but without the writing)
They then went outside with the new pod of cameras and acted and photographed their own stories.
After lunch we had a bit of R.E....
...before heading into the staff room for a demonstration of evaporation and condensation, which is how clouds are formed.
We ended the day with a couple of visitors...

Fine Weather Wednesday
Good afternoon,
And what a lovely afternoon it is. Just as well we had run out of time to look for clouds this afternoon - 'cause there aren't any!
What we did do was update our Weather Chart, and then discussed the three primary cloud formations - Stratus, Cumulus and Cirrus.
We even got some actions going. (As indicated on the image above). Ask your children to show you.
This morning we continued with our ICT work, learning to create a new file, name it (T#W##D## - Term [x] Week [y] Day [z]) and save it to the server to continue to work on it tomorrow.
For reading, Blue Group put on another performance for us, this time What Tommy Did
For R.E., we were learning to identify Holy Objects by moving around objects within the digital R.E. resource that we are using this year. (Just as well I installed those two extra laptops! Now, if we could only get it working on the Macs...)
Right, on to tonight's Maori questions. Please read this - the Room 2 Readers read it this morning.
For 100 house points, what does Ke Te Pehea Koe mean? For an extra 100 points, what does makariri and wera mean?
Kiora,
Mr Grant

Wednesday Wednesday
Good afternoon,
This morning started off with this...
...which prompted this...
Then on with some shape games for maths.
Then on to some writing...
...and reading.
This afternoon we watched Where the Wild Things Are (and In the Night Kitchen), before creating some music to fit different parts of the story.
And a good time was had by all.
Tomorrow will be our last P.E. day for the term...actually, today was the last day of our dress uniform for this term. Tomorrow is sports-gear-day, and Friday is of course the mufti day. Please get your mufti money in tomorrow do it doesn't get mixed up with the sausage sizzle money for our Mid Winter Breakfast, also on Friday.

Almost No Photos Monday
Good afternoon,
Well, another day's been and gone - for the children at least. Some of us have still got interviews up 'till 7:45 tonight!
Well, we started with a Values Assembly this morning, for which I convinced Jo to play in the key of G. Suited me, but was waaayyy too low for the rest of the congregation!
A bit of writing then ensued before some morning tea (at which point I realized that the boys are out of food! Still, they've got enough bits a pieces to tide them over), a bit of reading before some Veggie Tales over lunch.
After lunch we had a very quick R.E. lesson where we discussed acts that show Holy Spirit in our lives...
...and putting them to a song and dance.
I'd like to try to tape it, should we find the time to do it again, but I'm not sure if we can...
Anyway, onwards and upwards.
As for the parent/teacher interviews, what can I say? Your children are lovely to teach!
