Another Space Adventure - Room 3 Tinwald School

After visiting the moon with the astronauts in Room 4 Curious George was really keen to go even further out into space. So off he went next door to persuade the children of Room 3 to let him try out their newly built space rocket.

Creative George had to work all night to develop new engines and some top secret fuel that would take them all the way to Saturn and back.

On the way they stopped breifly at a space station to fix the broken telescope.

They were both so excited when they got to take a space walk out near Jupiter and Saturn. Curious George was so tired he slept all the way home. Creative George hardly slept at all because his head was full of ideas for bigger better rockets that would take him even further out into space on his next trip.

'Creative Shows Musical Talents'

Today Creative was very fortunate to join in a singing workshop with specialist singing teacher Mrs Jo Castelow. Creative sat alongside the Borough choir members and listened really carefully, taking in all the expert skills and drills that Mrs Castelow was teaching the students.

It turns out that he's got a fabulous voice (just like his Dad) and that he really loves singing. (He mostly sings in the shower.)

Being the creative monkey that he is, we're sure he'll be keen to put his talent to good use.

Here's hoping there's a part for him in a school musical this year!

Roll Call in Manuka!

The George Brothers, Curious and Creative, are taking the morning roll call in Manuka. Did you notice the beanies? It is very cold in Manuka this morning because the builders have already started to renovate the classroom and there is no power - so no lights and no heating! Manuka are moving to Room 2 straight after the roll, and we will be there until next Friday. So if you are looking for us - come to Room 2. PS: can you guess who is under the beanies?

Up Into Space With Rimu - Room 4 At Tinwald School

The George Brothers are getting ready to zoom into outer space with our Rimu - Room 4 astronauts. They will zig zag between the planets and shoot past the stars in their shiny rockets.
"We will have to put on our space suits. I hope our tails will fit in," said Curious George. "We must remember to take our oxygen supply with us too because there is no air in space. I can't wait to collect moon rocks."
Creative George said "I am packing my camera to take photos of the craters on the moon. We will also have to take some dried bananas with us to eat."
"Away we go then."

Equipment Checks in Totara

Here are the George brothers checking off all their equipment. They need 9 bits of equipment every day. Here are all the equipment pieces that they need, Blue and red pen, ruler, pencil, eraser, notebook, scissors, highliter and gluestick. Did they have everything?

First days in Totara's new classroom at Tinwald School

The George Brothers were lucky enough to spend a day with Totara as we unpacked our classroom stuff and moved back into our classroom. We have spent the last 8 weeks in squashy room 2 while we waited for the builders to come and modernize our room. Now we have new carpet; a heat pump; soft, cuddly walls and new windows. It looks great. The George Brothers like the colour scheme - blue and yellow. They got confused when they saw all the yellow cupboards. "Bananas!" they yelled. Our teacher thinks the colours are great - "Go the Highlanders!"

The George Brothers helped us untangle the computer cords, try out the data projector, play our classroom games that we hadn't seen for weeks and eat fruit during fruit break. Someone kept feeding them bananas. It was a busy day in Totara and we were glad that the George Brothers helped us move back.
