Survival, the Next Level...And Beyond...

Now if only Brian (from Hatchet) had these skills!

Get Together Friday

Good morning,

Yesterday Room 3 caught up with Room 2 not once...

...but twice!

We all just happened to be at the same place at the same time!

Speaking of getting together...


:-)

And, in other exciting news, I've just ordered a small directional mic for my phone that will hopefully amplify their audio a touch. Watch this space. Not that you can watch this vid on their Chromebook, you understand. You'll have to use another platform.

Fun Day Thursday

Good evening,

And a lovely evening it is, what with the community out and about enjoying the fun night.

This morning the Batten Team continued their usual learning activities, such as reading...

(Oh, and if the children want to watch these videos below - and I would recommend that they do - they'll need to use another computer/internet browser that isn't logged in as them. Their/my Chrome browser is really locked down inside the school infrastructure. I can only watch them through Internet Explorer. These YouTube clips will not be able to be viewed on their Chromebooks. Yet. Sorry.)



...and P.E.

And a good time was had by all.

Thanks to those who were able to join our 3:15 meet the teacher meeting, and also those who are just about to arrive at our 6 o'clock meeting.

Wednesday's Wednesday

Good afternoon,

We started out first opt in numeracy workshops this morning...

...which seemed to run fairly well.

After reading...

...just read what's there children...we continued with the new testament for R.E. this afternoon.

Which the children did a good job of finding answers thereof independently.

Oh, and this...


A follow up reading activity. Which, it would appear, you cannot watch on your Chromebook due to restriction settings :-(

I'll try to get that sorted. In the meantime...try to watch it in Internet Explorer? I'll show it in class tomorrow anyway.

Please remember the Meet the Teacher meetings tomorrow at both 3 and 6. Not that you have to attend both, you understand...

Maths Planning Tuesday

Good evening,

This morning our Year 5s had their first experience of determining and selecting their maths workshops for the rest of the week according to their own needs.

Then 'twas a quick few moments to be had back in the room doing maths activities before morning tea.

Then on with literacy...

...and, after lunch, and more of Hatchet (who knew porcupines could be so dangerous, or bears so benign?!), some Digital Citizenship...

What it means to be a safe, responsible digital citizen

• treat people online as if they were right in front of you.
• keep yourself safe online - treat strangers as strangers
• be aware of your personal digital footprint

...which a couple of Room 3 bods may have to catch up on this evening, and keyboard skills.

Questions Monday

Good evening,

Sorry for the late post.

This afternoon Room 3 looked at the Gospel writers. And, as a challenge for at home, as well as naming the 12 Disciples (thanks Tom!), I asked the children to name these fellows...

And speaking of the Gospels, here's our warm up for reading this morning.

Oh, and from earlier in the day...

Bye for now,

Mr Grant
