Thank you!

Thank you all for your feedback on the stories. The children will read your comments tomorrow (Thursday). Hopefully Svend, Rachel, Euan W and Cameron (he was off last Friday as his Mum had a baby girl that day!)will send their stories tomorrow. The others will get time on the blog on Friday and I know you are off on holiday by then but you will hopefully all have a new message when you return to school. Many thanks again for a truly fantastic term. My class are so motivated and we look forward to some new ideas next term. Be great if you would like them to assess some writing next term. If you do please give them one or two areas to focus on to make it easier eg capital letters/spelling etc.

Happy Holidays
Mrs C

Saturday, September 19, 2009

sorry

I sent those yesterday then realised we hadn't written names and targets! I have just checked the next lot I sent earlier and again a few children have either forgotten their name or target! Apologies for this and I will sort this out over the next week. Or could the nameless ones have a comment added at the bottom by any of the children to save me sending again with names added? Will put more thought into this next time. Have rushed it sorry. Hoping you got the message which explained the purpose of the written work and the beginning of the story which the children had to continue.

thanks

I have just realised we didn't wish you all a great holiday or is it next week? Your photo suggests you are ready for it! The costumes are amazing and I'm sure the children had a fantastic time making them. Sorry for our lack of photos. I will try to send the other photos of the children next week. We now have your class displayed on our wall. We are getting some really positive feedback from parents which is great.

I have just tried to send the stories to the hotmail address.

Mrs Chalmers

Hi Gill
I have just read your post. I'm not sure what the problem is but I am just thinking about an alternative way to send them. I will send you an email in the next couple of hours, after I try something.
ps I have just looked at the email after I wrote this, there are 5 stories there.
Steve

help!

I have been trying to send stories to you on Thurs and Fri for the children in your class to peer assess. Not sure how to attach them on blog so attached them to emails but won't send to kauri or your own email address. Keeps saying failure.

Your photos and messages were great again this week. Thank you.

Hi Jay



Hi Jay,

It soounds like you are really up to speed in technology over there- I heard your getting a new Apple Store in Aberdeen,- is it open yet?

My Wearable Art costume didnt use tinfoil in the end- it used a kind of plastic foil which was stronger.

I had little plastic hoops which I wrapped chicken mesh around and the plastic went on top.
I had some long silver plastic arms which you can see in the picture-I will label it for you to make it easier.

Rachael.H.


Hi Rachel well on Monday we showed our wearable arts

Hello everyone


Hi Elrick p4/5
Fantastic to see your blog posts. You're so clever. It is really fun to read them and find out all about the things that you are interested in and what you like to do. This picture shows what our mountains looked like this morning. (from my house)You can see alittle snow on the tops. They are called the Tararua ranges and the highest peak is The Mitre at 1570m high (it looks like a bishop's hat). The Tararuas run down the centre of the bottom part of the North Island.
Bye for now
