Team Policing

Today Constable Simon Ralph (a.k.a. Charlie's dad) came and showed us the team policing van and the equipment inside it. Some dodgy characters got handcuffed and put in the back of the van.

Choir Notice

Did this notice go home with you today? Bring it back A.S.A.P. please, we might be the first with all the replies class again!

Be Selective!

The secret of a good poster is to select only the most interesting information and then to write it in the most interesting way.

For example: 

She was born in 1932 

or 

She is 83 years old

Which one gives you the quickest picture about the person?

It's the same information!

First Swim!

Swimming Pool

BUT... still bring your togs everyday in case I manage to sneak a time on days we don't have a slot.

Reading Project

For the next few weeks we are going to be creating a poster about our favourite author or illustrator. For reading each evening you should spend time finding out information about your chosen a/i or reading his or her books.

Together we decided that our posters should include:

• a title - the person's name
• information about the a/i
• a photo of the a/i
• the names of some books they have written or illustrated
• information about their books
• a website address (if they have a great website)

We can print these things out at school - you don't need to do it at home. You can get someone to email me special photos or information you need (anna.ashby@stalbans.school.nz).

It would be great if you could do some internet searching with someone at home and visit one of the City Libraries to get some of their books out.

Keep checking in at the blog to see if there are other suggestions for what you could do at home for this project.

A Blast From the Past

Rachel sent me this video last term and I filed it in a "special" place on my computer "to do later". Today I found it and thought I'd share it with you.

Thanks Rachel!
