One Day Late Friday

Good morning,

Yesterday I was on CRT (Classroom Release Time) for some RR (Running Records - listening to how well the children read), so R2 was under the expert care of Mrs O'Neil, the RT (Relief Teacher). OK? :-)





Mr Grant

One Photo Thursday...

...but two video clips.

Good afternoon,

This afternoon kicked off with a discussion about John 21:9-14, which we essentially summarized thusly...


We then talked about how we could be a bit more like Jesus.


The afternoon then continued with some more work on keeping in time with the beat, this time keeping the four count going around the circle.


And a good time was had by all.

Mr O'Neil will be at the con tomorrow as I am going to be taking reading assessments. Lots of reading assessments.

Keep the Beat Wednesday

Good evening,

Just a quick update this evening, we've only just finished a meeting!

This afternoon I introduced the class to this activity here, and then had the children try to clap at different counts of the beat.


Some were concentrating really hard!

Well done Room 2,

Mr Grant

Oh yeah, and we did a bit of writing, as a whole class...


...writing an introduction for Grumpy Elephant, and, speaking of Big Books on the IWB, this morning we looked at speech marks and italics as featured in King of the Mountain.

Together Tuesday

Good afternoon,

This morning we had a special visitor to the school. Ronald McDonald. He was sharing some road safety tips with us.






And a good time was had by all!

After a touch of singing...


...Room 2 popped out with Room 11 for a touch of P.E.



Has anyone seen the bucket of Room 2 tennis balls?

Blind Man Monday

Good afternoon,

We did a couple of new things this fine day.

First up, a new Shared Book for a new week...


...and this afternoon we read, discussed and then acted out Mark 10:46-52...





And a good time was had by all. As evidenced by the last photo!

CU in the morning,

Mr Grant

Games that teach beat

Good afternoon,

Just looking at what we're going to be doing during our topic lessons this week, and I have found this. It'll be a challenge...

I have added it to the topic links list on the right of the screen.
