Spontaneous-Button-Box-Reprise Thursday

Good afternoon,

This afternoon, the J and M Teams trotted over to the hall...




...to sit down...


...to catch a sneak preview of The Button Box DVD.


At the beginning of the last song, the whole hall burst into song!



And a good time was had by all!

Don't forget your library books for tomorrow.

Bye,

Mr Grant

Acrostic Wednesday

Good evening,

This afternoon we once again discussed how we can respond to the Holy Spirit, and we came up with an acrostic prayer...



After R.E., Room 2 got busy with their handwriting portfolio samples.


Hence blowing off steam on the playground just before the end of the day.

CU tomorrow,

Mr Grant

Oh, and if your child came home with a great big green P on their hand, they need to get themselves a pen and/or a pencil and stop relying on Mr Grant to provide one!

Responsible Room 2 learners...hmmm... :-)

Didn't they do well!

Games Day Tuesday

Good afternoon,

This morning, instead of writing, we played a couple of the new reading games that we have just got in the room.

The fun and games continued with some skipping...



...some J Team singing, and then some P.E. outside...


...with Room 8...



Right, to time to shuffle some paper.

Mr Grant

Movie Day Monday

Good evening,

Another late post I know...meetings and such...

Anyway, no photos today, just a couple of clips.

First from reading. Blue Group (or at least, the half of Blue Group that was here today) share today's text, Grumpy Elephant.


After lunch, we continued our learning of the Holy Spirit, and decided that...

When I show love, I show the Holy Spirit.

Bye for now,

Mr Grant
