Water Safety Friday

Good afternoon,

This morning ended our two weeks of swimming instruction with a bit of water safety in boats and life jackets.






...before finishing up our inquiry...



...and watching Charlotte's Web with Room 11.




And that was the end of a very busy week. Well, a very energy expending week anyway.

Back to the normal programme next week...except for Thursday, our J Team Fun Day. Start praying for fair weather now, Mrs Johnson is organizing a water slide for the day!

Have a great weekend,

Mr Grant

Man, our new fibre internet connection makes uploading these images and clips much quicker!

Ranfurly Thursday

Good afternoon.

At the end of this day we had a visitor...



...the Ranfurly Shield!

Prior to that the children had their last learn-to-swim instructional lesson at Kings Pool. Tomorrow is all about water safety. Remember - no goggles!







We also managed to fit in some maths...


...and inquiry.


Thanks ladies, and gentleman, for helping out this afternoon. Last inquiry session will be tomorrow morning. Any further assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Oh yes, and the message that I sent out about the Room 2 picnic should have read that it's on Wednesday of Week 10, not next week. Sorry.

Bye for now,

Mr Grant

Wednesday Movie Day

Good evening,

This morning started with another trip to the pool...




...and then back for a play...


...and some maths...


...and a visit by the traveling library.



Please note that today was the last day that we will be issuing books. Next week's visit will all be about getting the books returned to school.

Oh, and speaking of next week, our J Team Fun Day will be on Thursday, not Wednesday.

Bye for now,

Got to go down to the Old Vic to meet the boys,

Mr Grant

Last Minute CRT Tuesday

Oh, but Rattie does like his Rashuns!

But I digress.

Good afternoon,

I decided last night that I really needed another CRT day today to get through all the report bits and pieces (and I'm glad I was able to take it, let me tell you!).

Thankfully, Mrs O'Neill was able to step up to the plate and take over. And a wonderful job she did too!

After a bit of writing...




...it was off on the bus...




...to the pool.




Back to school for some reading and maths after lunch, estimating and measuring area...



...a bit more Inquiry and the children were done for the day.

Thanks Coleen for jumping in so readily.

Tomorrow is Library day, so please remember to return your library books.

CU tomorrow,

Mr Grant

Oh yeah, and boys, don't forget about drinks at the Old Vicarage tomorrow evening, 'bout 7 ish.

Another Monday...Again...

Good evening,

More swimming...


...more singing (though this was reading - honest!)...


...and a touch of maths.


Hey, finding the area of something is just like using arrays!

Bit more of the same tomorrow. Literally - tomorrow's timetable is just like todays!
