Last [Half] Day Wednesday

Good afternoon,

And good night!








Thank you for a fabulous year, have a blessed break and I'll see you all in the new year.

(And lest you think today was all about slacking off...



...we completed and shared our Favourite Time in Room 2 recounts from last week!)

And Speaking of Star Wars...

Star Wars' new rolling droid is a 'real' robot. Funny, I thought it was CGI.

The Falcon Failing

The sounds behind the Millennium Falcon's failing hyperdrive.

(One of the sounds they used for the Falcon's engine is a DC4 flying (think bigger of a DC3 with two pairs of piston radial engines) past the sound engineer.)

The Gift that Keeps On Giving!

Good evening,

I'm just back from Comics, and Tim has agreed to provide all of these...
  1. a Scum and Villiany starter pack (when they're out)
  2. a Firespray (when they're back in stock)
  3. a Z-95 Headhunter (when they're back in stock)
  4. a couple of M3-A Interceptors (when they're out)
  5. a Tie Phantom (when they're back in stock)
  6. a Rebel Aces pack (at least that's in stock!)
  7. and another Tie fighter
...for the price of the voucher - a saving of...well, about $10, but hey!

Sweet!

Better still, I can get some now...



...some in February (the restocks of the Headhunter, Firespray and Phantom) and April - the Scum and Villiany starter and the M3s.

So this truly is the gift that keeps on giving!!

Thanks once again,

Mr Grant

  2. a Firespray (when they're back in stock)
  3. a Z-95 Headhunter (when they're back in stock)

Then we started the day proper. Of which I only got these shots...





...as I was kind of busy. Getting water blasted, for one thing. That reminds me, I must take my soaking clothes home. I hope they haven't blown away in the breeze.

The afternoon was spent with a bit more of The Magic Faraway Tree, and TRUMP time. And a good time was had by all. Especially the water fight!

Thanks again,

And see you one last time...for the year...tomorrow.

Last Day Monday

Well, it was the last day the whole school was together for 2014 anyway...

Good afternoon,

This morning was taken up with a long walk down to Cashmere...


...a long walk back to school...


...and quite a bit of waiting in between. At least we had a fire alarm to keep things lively.

This afternoon the children exercised the Key Competencies in a variety of different ways as they saw fit.


Please be at the Cashmere High School Auditorium at 6 so we can get the children sorted for a 6:30 start this evening.

Mr Grant
