Funday Friday

Good afternoon,

Mrs O'Neil was at the helm today, while I ran some assessments.

















And a good time was had by all!

Have a great weekend,

Mr Grant

Back To Work Thursday

Good afternoon,

Sorry for my day off yesterday. Migraines. Not pleasant.

Anyhow...this morning the J Team popped outside in the rain for some fitness.

Not so, the Room 2 Readers!


After an inside lunch (when it was that I reaslised that the reason my DVD drive can't read data discs is because it isn't working, this revelation being discovered through my tablet's inability to play Sponge Bob Square Pants for the children while they had lunch!), we discussed the role of the parish.



We also showed how we could be like Jesus...







And then to inquiry. Hmmm, yes, ummm, well...I told the children that, since they had got their big questions sorted, they were now to get your help in finding the answers. Sorry about that. I'm going to have to double check with Mary to see just what can be done at home, and what we need to do in the class. I know the end product will be in the form of a poster, which we've set a lot of time aside to do here in class, it's just the question of what information needs to go on their posters (that they are supposed to do here at school). Soooo...

I'll double check, and get back to you!

Mr Grant

Oh, and I will be here tomorrow, but I won't be as well. I'm taking a Classroom Release Time day tomorrow to do some running records and numeracy assessments, so Mrs O'Neil will be at the helm.

And a good time will be had by all!

Greedy Cat Tuesday

Good afternoon,

This morning, Red Reading Group (yes, all two of them!) shared a well known favourite, Greedy Cat.


Apparently, it's based on a true story!

Later on, Room 2 popped outside for some P.E. Discuss and running.



I was busy teaching Rooms 11 and 8 the finer points of shotput.

And a good time was had by all.

Bye for now,

Mr Grant

Partly Absent Monday

Good afternoon,

I wasn't feeling very well at lunch time (I'm feeling much better now), so Mrs Cappel took over the helm for the afternoon. I'm sure a good time was had by all.

Just before I shot through, I managed to get this shot of Blue Group reading their book to Red Group (sitting behind Green Group, as it happened), while I was taking White Group!


CU in the morning,

Mr Grant

Room 2 Newsletter for Term 3, Week 7

Good evening,

In an effort to free up my weekend (which hasn't really worked, as I spent too long on the last post. But it's so cool!), I have managed to produce next week's newsletter this week.

And here it is.

Mr Grant

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
