Advent Wednesday

Good afternoon,

This morning we finished the language-of-position activity that we started yesterday.


We also completed our own Advent Wreaths.




Now to find somewhere to hang both sets of activities up in the room.

Bye for now,

Mr Grant

Paper Tuesday

Good afternoon,

Actually, I did take photos yesterday!

For maths the children had to work in pairs, well, chasing each other, for to demonstrate to the class so that the class could then describe where the characters from Hairy MacLary, Scattercat started, where they finished, and how they got there.



So this morning the children started creating pictures of where one of the characters was, this time to label with precision in relation to the characters' environment.




After writing...



...and morning tea, we, along with the rest of the J and M Teams, popped into the hall to watch, with some considerable amazement, Naresh Kumar, a teacher from St Anthony's Catholic School in New Dehli demonstrate some Indian paper art.








Quite frankly, he was fantastic! If you would like to buy a wee book as to how to do it, please bring $4 to school in the morning.

After lunch we went outside to play, amoung other things, piggy in the middle (!)...




...before coming back late to the classroom. Sorry about that.

Mr Grant

Monday Change-Day

Good afternoon,

Sorry, forgot to get the camera out!

Usual stuff. A bit of maths, a bit of reading, some enquiries into what the children might like to learn about in their Inquiry lessons next year...


...you know, the usual stuff.

Have a nice evening,

Mr Grant

Sunny Thursday

Well, it was.

Good afternoon,

A lovely morning it was for swimming.











And that was about it. Well, apart from Reading, Handwriting and Maths.

I'm off to Hanmer in the morning for a wedding, so Mrs Grant will be at the helm for tomorrow.

And I'm sure that a good time will be had by all.

Have a great weekend,

Mr Grant

Wednesday's Wednesday

Good afternoon,

This morning we popped along for our, what, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...7^th? swimming lesson...
















Once back we got into some reading.


After lunch, maths...



And that, along with some writing, was our day.

Roll on tomorrow.

Mr Grant
