Thursday Theology

Good afternoon,

This afternoon we continued learning stories from the Bible that showed that Jesus loved others...

• BBQ on the beach
• Jesus and the Little Children
• The widow's son
• Jairus' daughter
• Blind Bartimaeus
• Jesus calms the storm
• Jesus walks on water - and calms another storm

...including Jesus healing the 10 lepers (Luke 17:11-19).

Jesus was walking past a town on his way to Jerusalem when 10 lepers cried out "Have mercy on us," to Jesus from afar.


Jesus said to them "Go to the priests to have them check you."


As the turned to go, the 10 lepers were instantly made well.


But only one came back to Jesus to thank him!

Earlier in the day, we also did a spot of reading...


...and later, tried drawing Taranaki.


See you in the morning,

Mr Grant

Wednesday Wondering...

...around the class that is!

Good afternoon,

This afternoon, for R.E., we read and then acted the story of the Widow's Son (Luke 7:11-17).



After R.E. we continued furthering our understanding of how the Maori legend of the Battle of the Mountains was one way some Maori tribes tried to understand how volcanoes ended up where they ended up. Specifically, the children drew either Pihanga, or Tongaririo.



See you in the morning,

Mr Grant

Funday Tuesday

Good afternoon,

We had a great time out at Teeball this afternoon. Pity I was too busy to take any photos!

Anyway, we hacked away at some maths and writing...




...and some reading.




After lunch, and before P.E., the whole J Team popped by for some music...


...and singing.

And a good time was had by all!

See you in the morning,

Mr Grant

Good afternoon,

And what a lovely afternoon it is too. St Patrick's day afternoon, in fact.



After saying good morning to Galoop...



...we carried on with our day with a bit of Reading...


...and some R.E....


...along with all the other stuff.

Please ask your children tonight to explain the bible story that is displayed above.

Have a lovely evening,

Mr Grant

Reading Friday

Good afternoon,

This morning we read a poem...



...read another chapter of Brave Mama Puss...


...so...the story so far...





Then we read with Room 6 during our visit to the library.





It great to see the two classes mixing so well.

Oh, we also had some fitness.





Have a nice, if indoorsy, weekend,

Mr Grant

Wednesday Maunga

Good afternoon,

Today, after a touch of reading...
