Messy Mache Friday

Good afternoon,

Well, it's been a fun old day here in Room 2. After morning tea we finally got down to applying some goop to our balloons!















Very very very many thanks to Bronwyn, Kisa and Nina for helping out. It would have been impossible without you! Same again next week? (We have to put a final plain newsprint layer atop what we did today...)

Just prior to this, we read, and then altered a poem.



And post mache we popped to the library (while the ladies cleaned up our mess!)



Thanks again ladies I really appreciate your help.

Have a great weekend,

Mr Grant

J Team Cross Country Postponed

Good morning, or not, as the case may be,

The decision has been made that the Year 1 and 2 Cross Country events will be postponed until later. We're staying at school, the Year 3-8's are still going.

And I even bought track pants special like!

Wooloomooloo Wednesday

Good afternoon,

This morning White Group shared yesterday's text with us, The Kangaroo from Wooloomooloo.


After lunch we discussed how people show how we can tell that the Holy Spirit is working in people.







As well as way laying Mrs O'Neil.

Tomorrow, we may be running our Cross Country at Halswell Quarry...but then again, we may not. It depends on the presence or absence of rain. I'll let you know when I know.

If it is on, please send the children to school in their sports gear wearing an appropriate house coloured shirt.

Have a nice evening,

Mr Grant

Oh, and if you missed it, here is this evening's notice...

Good afternoon,

This afternoon, after J Team singing...


...Room 2 did some Muscle Dancing.





And a good time was had by all.

CU in the morning,

Mr Grant

Monday Monday

Good afternoon,

And welcome to Week 3.

This morning we wrote...



...and read.


As is our norm.

After lunch we discussed how we show we believe in God...




...and then sorted us some more animals.






(During which, I popped outside to catch Room 12 paper macheing..


...which looked like fun!)

Bye for now,

Mr Grant

Room 2 "Newsletter" for Term 2, Week 3

Term 2, Week 3 Monday 7 May, 2012

Good afternoon. Due to a getting distracted with a Typhoon, and feeling a bit crook, I haven’t been into school to get last week’s photos off the server, so…this’ll be illustration free.

But at least the Tablet PC is up and running and talking to both the server and the photocopier again. It’s a little faster too.

Anyhow, last week we had our first full week of Term 2. We even stayed at school all week, doing all the usual stuff. Which wasn’t a bad thing…

This week will be pretty routine right up ‘till Thursday. Thursday’s cross country day. Weather permitting. (Postponement day will be the following Tuesday, if not). We’ll leave for Haswell Quarry at 9:30, the J Team race (the boys and girls are going to run together and diferentiated at the finish line) will be underway at about 11 o’clock, and we’ll be back at school for lunch.

On Friday we’re gonna get messy. Paper mache messy. We’ve got the paper ripped up, we’ve got the balloons blown up, we just need ART SHIRTS and empty icecream containers to rest the balloons in while they dry. So…please bring in a named art shirt and an empty icecream container to school by Friday morning. And if anyone would like to join us, I’d appreciate it! 

As for next week, Week 4, so long as we’re running this Thursday, we’ll be, well, staying at school doing all the usual stuff. Which isn’t a bad thing…

Have a great week,

Nick Grant
