Taniwha Friday

Good afternoon,

Ah, but summer's on it's way. Horrah!

But I digress. Today Room 2 did a spot of fitness...


...a touch of Topic (yay, we've managed to squeeze out a bit more time to finish our inquiry proper next week, and possibly the week after) where we discussed how to find information on the web...



...before using the 'net to find information from this page here to answer questions on this sheet here. It was really nice to see the children helping each other.





Then it was onto the whole point of this post. We did a spot of Maori and then drew our own Taniwha. I think the children did a much better job than I did!







I'd like to get them hung up in the weekend...we'll see how it goes. I can only come in on Saturday, as Sunday I've got a wee wargaming event. I'm quite keen to try out my dragons!

Have a good weekend,

Mr Grant

No Photos Thursday

Good afternoon,

Sorry, but I was too busy today to even pick up the camera...and I really have to teach the children that when the teacher hands them the camera to use, then they need to make sure that the switch is up to take the photos!

Ah well.

As we have swimming next week I came to the realization very late in the piece that opps, we're running out of time to finish our inquiry. And now we have, indeed, run out of time to continue our inquiry. Next week our topic time will be spent learning about to keep ourself safe. Ummm, soo...I'm not sure when we'll get it done.

Anyone fancy school on Saturdays?

Mr Grant

Oh, and yesterday we also...

...looked at how to celebrate Mary's holiness in R.E....


...and got together a list of what the children would like to study next year.



See, I told you we did other stuff yesterday!

Library Only Wednesday

Good afternoon,

Today I kinda forgot about the camera 'till the end of the day, so...

Say cheese!




As you can see, we did at least have a mobile library visit.

We did do other stuff as well, but, well, I have no photographic evidence of it, so...you'll just have to trust me on that!

Bye for now,

Mr Grant

Hot Day Tuesday

Good afternoon,

It is glorious outside. Currently a balmy 28 degrees. 'Twas a lovely day for some outside activities.

First up was some fitness...




...then a play, again, outside...


...and ending the day with some cricket. Outside. Funnily enough.


We did so some stuff inside. Phonics...


...and singing. But at least the doors were open.



Don't forget that tomorrow is library day.

Bye for now,

Mr Grant

Mrs O'Neil's Day

Good afternoon,

I wasn't in the room today, I was writing general report comments (and they all start with "Your child is a rat bag because..." Ha!), and she had an excellent day. Indeed, she was effusive with her praise for the good time she had today! And she's getting to grips with the IWB like a pro!





One of the reading activities that was apparently quite successful this morning was having Blue Reading Group design their own tryathlon course...



Thanks again Mrs O'Neil. Bye for now,

Mr Grant
