Thursday Wet Day

Urghh!

Good afternoon,

Well, this morning kicked off with a bit of maths...



...then some Jump Jam...



...some R.E....





...and finally a touch of ICT...




...the results of which are starting to come in...







Oh, and I'm out for the morning tomorrow, doing some ICT related stuff. Mrs Grant will be at the helm.

Wednesday Be Praised

Good afternoon,

Today started off with a visitor.





Way to get the children hyped up, Clifford!

Later in the morning, Parakaraka Reading Group shared their text with us, The Big Toe.


Unfortunately, the lighting was insufficient to successfully green screen it. I need a film studio in the classroom. Does anyone have any free standing studio lights they'd light to donate to the cause?

This afternoon, for R.E., we learnt a new song.


All praises to the One from whom it all began
The One who formed the stars and who gave life to man

You set the world in motion, created sky and ocean
And here I stand beloved and called by name.

Be praised
Be praised
Listen to creation
Lifting up Your Name
Be praised
Be praised
Be praised

All praises to the One from whom it all began.
The One who gave Himself to save sinful man.

You scorned the shame of the cross.
My sin, my blame is now gone,
And here I stand beloved and called by name

Be praised
Be praised
Listen to Your people
Lifting up Your Name
Be Praised
Be praised
Be praised

All praises to the One from whom it all began.
The One who conquered death and who will come again.
The nations will behold You as everything becomes new,
And there we'll stand beloved and called by name.

...before carrying on with our iPad articles. Having only 20 minutes three times a week means...lits of bite sized chunks!

Wet Old Tuesday

Good afternoon,

Since it was too wet to go out for P.E. this afternoon, we continued to interview each other and started iPadding them.






This all subsequent from some force labour this morning to help sort out books I need to put away.





Man there's a lot of them!

Bishop's Monday

Good evening,

Today we had a visitor to the school. His Grace, Bishop Barry.

So, the school welcomed him at a special assembly...


...and then he came around to say hello.




His Te Reo is excellent!

After lunch, and just before I shot through early to an ICT meeting, the children started some investigative reporting of each other.







More of that on Wednesday.
