Funday Friday

Good afternoon,

Today, after a quick hello...



...Room 2 practiced (and I learnt) the Hokey Tokey in Maori...


...and we created a wee story, one word at a time...


...prior to popping outside for some fitness.



After morning tea, instead of our normal art activities, we continued to work on our inquiry - basically, writing down our wonderings.



...before heading to the library...


...and finishing the week with a game of tag outside. Man some of your children can run quickly!

Have a great weekend,

Mr Grant

Science Fair Thursday

Good afternoon,

This morning the Room 2 Writers visited the A Team's Science Fair. Seeing as I don't have permission to post their photos on the 'net, you'll just have to trust me that Room 2 was there!

Later, the Room 2 Readers (who happen to also be the Room 2 Writers!) witnessed Green Reading Group sharing their text for today, Cake.


(Which also happened to be first video captured on our new camera. The file is much bigger than that produced from the old camera. Much, much bigger. Like, it's still uploading. The colours are much nicer, too.)

To end the day we quickly finished listing what we have learnt over the last 6 weeks about flight...


...tomorrow we will start listing what we want to learn some more about.

CU in the morning,

Mr Grant

Don't forget your library books!

New Camera Wednesday

Good afternoon,

Room 2 has just got a new camera. I'm expecting that the improvement over our well used, rather worn out old camera will shine through with the filming of video clips, but in the mean time...


We also discussed the meaning of Privilege, Responsibility and Parish.




Tablet PCs are soooo cooooolll!

Mr Grant

Outdoor Tuesday

Good afternoon,

We spent a fair bit of today outside.

First for fitness...


...and then for P.E....



Not to say that we didn't do some of our learning inside. Red Reading Group even shared their text for this morning, T Shirts.


Which reminds me, this was Blue Group's text for today. Te Tio Bay. Blue Group, read along at home.


Bye for now,

Mr Grant

Questioning Monday

Good afternoon,

This morning the Room 2 Readers revisited of an old fitness activity - running the cones.




This afternoon, the children continued to practice asking big questions, and how to know whether the question they are asking is big or small.



Bye for now,

Mr Grant
