The week that was..

Our final week of rehearsals. We spent a lot of time in the hall working on transitions, getting props on and off stage, trying to get the children to face in the correct direction when speaking their lines etc. I think we are getting there. Come this time next week, it will all be over. I do hope you will all get the chance to come in and see it. If you intend to see it on Thursday evening, please note that tickets are selling quickly for this session.. go and see Carlene if you haven't bought yours yet. There are a lot more available seats for the Wednesday afternoon show.



What else..
The children also spent time working on their inquiry questions and started putting together their display boards for the Science expo. Once Production is over, we will only have a week to get this organised!

In Maths (yes, we did a little), we recapped some of the work we'd done on ordering fractions by working out the lowest common denominator - remember to always check to see if your children are retaining/understanding what we cover in class. We sadly, didn't have enough children or any real time to do any Strand work. I hope to do that this week. With ski champs, holidays and flu, we averaged 23 children out of 30 each day last week. It has made Production planning this year VERY stressful and I do have concerns that the performance may appear a tad shoddy this year because of this. Hopefully, we will have a full roll for the next couple of days, so that everyone knows what we are doing / what they are doing... we shall see :-)

IMPORTANT. Today is the last day of voting in the Vector competition. Please make sure you vote, so that Meadowbank wins! It's a close race.
