Hoplite Friday

Good evening,

Today was another occasion to break out the shields.


And a good time was had by all!

Have a great weekend,

Mr Grant

Oh, and another thing, or two

Good afternoon,

Again,

I forgot to mention that...

1. We are presenting some money for Jose tomorrow at assembly, so any additional gold coin donations would be very gratefully received.
   
   
2. I'm hoping to have the children complete an assessment on our ancient civilization's topic. Please remind them to think about...
   
   • What two things the Ancient Greek City States and the Roman Empire had in common?
     
     • They both fought lots
     • They both had a government
   • How did they do these same things differently?
     
     • The Greeks fought their neighbours for land
     • The Romans fought everyone for glory and slaves
     • The Greeks had democracy and voted for their leaders
     • The Imperial Romans had a Dictator (Caesar) who no body voted for

Have a nice evening,

Mr Grant

Thursday's Thursday

Good afternoon,

If you're wondering where your children's reading text might be for this evening, well...I was too busy assessing to do much instructing! That's the way it goes sometimes...

But at least there were a good number of fantastic creations!


Oh, and as for our second hoplite phalanx demo tomorrow...it'll kinda depend on the weather...if it's on, it'll be on @ 12.

Bye for now,

Mr Grant

Two Photo Two's Day

Good evening,

Another busy day here (or there, as the case may be) at school today.

We had some visiting Year 10s from Hilmorton High who adapted, wrote, produced (including props and costumes) and performed The Cat in the Hat for OLA just after morning tea. Since I haven't their express permission to publish photos of said production, you'll have to trust me, it was well done and very well received. My favourite part was Room 2's reaction to some of the cheeky antics of the main players!

After lunch, and J Team singing...


...we ended our day outside enjoying some non stop cricket, complete with cricket tees that I didn't know of!


Thanks Mr A!

I won't be in tomorrow seeing as a group of us teachers will be spending the day at E-Time to set up Ultranet. Which reminds me, I've got to set up some administration accounts tonight...hope I remember how to!

Mrs O'Neill will be at the helm.

CU Thursday,

Mr Grant

Mr Grant's Sick

Good evening,

For the third evening in a row I have succumb to the effects of a slight fever. I thought the weather had simply cooled down a lot, but no, I'm running a temperature. So I'm keeping my sore throat and sore head at home tomorrow.

CU Tuesday,

Mr Grant
