Whew

Well, what a week, sorry I haven't been online much but the whole family has been sick and I've been off a few times this week. THings are wrapping up towards the end of term and of course there are plenty of tests as we teachers scramble to get useful marks for reports. Luckily i've a plethora of marks for reading and writing due to the open response questions and paragraphs we've done these last few weeks. I'm glad to say that the majority of students have improved but I'll put pointers in our reports.

At the moment I'm signing up to edublogs.org so we can do some blogging next term.
Have a great weekend, I'll try to be more upto date this week.
A special gift to the first students who say 'Wibble!" to me this week.

I hope everyone had a great family day. I spent it hanging out with the kids and walking in the woods. I hope you had as relaxing time as my son. I"m collating marks for reports now so get your work in asap.

Carnival on the mush

Well, it's been raining all day today and tomorrow is Carnival outside. I'm hoping all Mrs. High's hard work doesn't get washed away. Well done to everyone with the Dioramas.

30s Vodcasts

This week we began the 30s book report to promote the library. These are posted up on the Library website and I hope the staff will let the kids check them out for book ideas. Our students are now videoing and producing these themselves.
