Earthquakes, Lunchtimes and Thursday afternoon

This week started with a couple of major earthquakes – luckily for the first one most of our children were outside so didn't feel it.  The second one struck at about 220pm – all children know what to do and were well supported by my teaching staff.  They are becoming experts at keeping children as calm as possible – I admire them for this.  Click here to be taken to crowe quake live. This site records all earthquakes in the Christchurch/Canterbury region.

I was on duty at lunchtime on Thursday and couldn’t help but notice the number of different games our children were playing or involved in – netball practice, skipping with Mr Happer, touch rugby, sandpit play, soccer and a variety of tag games.  Our children are able to get themselves involved in games with their friends at their break times which is a great attribute to have.

During my walk around classes on Thursday afternoon I came across singing in Room 2, Egyptian project work in Room 5, the children in Room 6 working with Mr Happer our Sport Support person and Room One in the library.  I hade some interesting conversations with the children in Room 5 about what they were finding out about Egypt and i managed to score a couple of runs in the game Room 6 were playing.  The children in Room 2 were very eager to share the scones they had made this morning.  Also Room 5 had a hedgehog as a visitor!
