Whether the weather, We'll weather the weather, Whether we like it or not!
Good afternoon,
We kicked off this morning by filling out our weather charts according to our scientific observations...we looked outside to see what the weather was doing!
Then it was back onto the NetBooks for a bit of Comic Life (which I can't share with you 'till I've got a registered copy on my tablet!), and off to Assembly.
...before walking back in the rain!
After being shut outside...
...those who weren't going to Kapa Haka (which included Rattie) had a bit of free time.
This morning for Writing, we abandoned the pen for some ICT.
The point of this, and hopefully tomorrow's, writing lesson was to learn to create something in word, and save it to the server to work on it again later, without having to use a particular laptop - they're all connected to the server, so any laptop will do. This will become one of our regular independent writing routines once we've got a handle on the nuts and pieces of the procedure.
White group also shared what they learnt from the book they had yesterday. How Room 1 Henderson Valley School performs a Massage Circle. Or at least they did, back in 1999.
First, they put their flat on the person in front of them and move them round and round in circles like big sun shapes.
Next, they dot their fingers up and down like rain. They start off softly and then get harder and harder, just like rain.
Their two favourite things are at the end. First they put their arms around the person in front of them, all lean forward and hug each other.
The second thing they do is lean back really slowly until they're lying on the person behind them.
And so they did.
After lunch, we had J Team Singing in Room 2 (where the heaters wouldn't switch off and it got to 27.9 degrees inside!).
Stink, we're really packing them in in the J Team this year! And we've still got two terms to go!
