It has been as usual a busy week. On Monday and Tuesday everybody met with their countries and planned chants, rehearsed songs and made banners and flags. I know I had a great time with my group. From Room 14 was Cole, William and Thomas and they worked very well with everyone from the 5 year olds up.
These sessions led up to today when we had the Gleniti School Olympic Competition. It was a great afternoon with all participating and getting stuck into the activities. From the point of view of a teacher the time went very fast when you had each group.
The students have chosen their inquiry partners (with some being very thoughtful chose to be work foccussed). they have come up with their big question and their little questions. hey will now be working on finding out and going through the inquiry process. I am really excited about the inquiry as the questions are relevant and interesting.
I have continued to enjoy the class discussions about the Olympics and the events. They all have their own opinion and are usually willingly to share it.
I thank you all for coming to the interviews. It was beneficial for me to meet most of you again and talk about your child and how they are going. For those who brought their son or daughter I thought it went well to. I think it is important that everybody knows what the other is thinking and where they are heading. As I said in a few interviews it is their life and we can guide them but they must step up and not waste the opportunities that come along.
This week saw the class getting a little scratchy due to the rain and not being able to go outside and blow off steam. They did keep it together quite well and nothing was too damaged.
I thank everyone for the afternoon tea which we shared during the Reward time. It was very well recieved with it all being devoured on the day or the following Monday. It was very cool to see them all just do their own thing together. Some played in the hall, listened to music, played games or just talked.
On Friday we have the Craighead Corale performoing at school. This should be an excellent concert as they are a well polished and entertaining group.
Camp notices have come out. Could you please fill them out and send them back to school as soon as possible. If you havew any questions please do not hesitiate to contact me.
