Revelation Thursday

Good afternoon,

The boys and I have just had an epiphany. The 2010 School Year ends in three weeks today! And there's still so much to do...

Well, lets start with something I can cope with. Today.

A bit like Monday really. Handwriting, lots of swimming, a bit of reading, maths, even some topic. Thanks Emma, sorry it was so chaotic! It all happened pretty much as a blur, so all I got 'digital evidence' of was swimming.


As for tomorrow, well, much like today, 'cept no reading (topic? Can't remember if I've booked the netbooks), and perhaps (perhaps) some developmental time at the end of the day. I'm pretty sure Kapa Haka is still a go in the afternoon.

Bye for now,

Mr Grant

Counting The Beat Wednesday

Good afternoon,

As if the children aren't expending enough energy during the day, we ended today with a bit of Kiwiana...


100 points to the children who can tell me who sung it originally.

Prior to that we sang...


...and swam...


...and read.



By for now,

(Another 100 points for those who can tell me what's wrong with that...)

Good afternoon,

Again,

Again,

Just got this proof through of our class photo to check the names are all right. Thought you might like to have a look see...

How Long Is A Piece Of String

Good afternoon,

Again,

I have just finished going over White Group's Story Webs from today's texts How long is a piece of string?. Maddison go closest. Well done Maddison. 100 points to Red House. Here is what it should have looked something like.

Active Tuesday

Good afternoon,

Well, as the title above suggests, we've had a very active day today. Indeed, the only time we were inside for lessons was at reading.


The rest of the day was spent either swimming...


(sorry, no audio - You Tube stripped it. Mustn't be fans of Twisting by the Pool by Dire Straits...)

...racing wheelchairs (some folks came round to promote/generate awareness of the Para Olympics that will be held here at QE2 in January)...


...or playing Tee Ball outside.



CU bright eyed and bushy tailed in the morning,

Swimday Monday

Good afternoon,

Welcome to Week 1, Day 1 of our two swim weeks.










On the way back we even slowed down for a family that was new to the neighborhood to cross the road...


And a good time was had by all.

When we got back we had time for some reading...


...and then some maths and topic.

Tomorrow we've got some folks coming in the afternoon to lead us in some cool sporting activities...something outside, I think...so that'll be fun too.

Oh, and please check your children's jersies. We're already missing two!

CU in the morning,

Mr Grant

Good morning,

I thought you'all might enjoy this.
