Georges Brothers 'Battle'

Here are the George brothers playing in the final for the Mancala cup. At half time they went to get a nice drink. Very Exciting!!!

Its all down to the players' final moves!

Barton Bural School

George Brothers see the stars.

On Monday the 23 August the George brothers went to see the stars. No they did not go to the moon on a spaceship but the Science Alive Star Dome visited Barton Rural School. Creative and Curious visited with Room 4 and 5. At first they were a bit hesistant to go inside the dome as it was very dark and they had to go through a tight tunnel to get inside.





Once inside they learnt about constellations, galaxies, the moon and all the planets. They saw the moon as we see it in the night sky and the phase it is in at the moment, the Waxing Gibbous. They were especially interested in the constellation Orion. Creative thought he looked very similiar to Orion, a big, strong hunter. The brothers had a lot of fun inside the dome but were thankful to eventually get outside into the daylight.

The George Brothers visit Room 4 at SHPS

Creative and Curious George were excited to be in Room 4, but they weren't too keen to go outside for fitness. The students told them that it wasn't THAT cold and they needed to stop complaining!

The George brothers came to maths in Room 4. Creative George got a turn on the interactive whiteboard with the maths kids. He had lots of fun. He thinks it's easy because the question was: half of sixteen.

In writing we are working very hard on our own Myths and Legends books. Curious George and Creative George were very impressed with them. They kept an eye on us and helped us edit our work and type onto the computer. They even said they want to come back and read our picture books when we are finished.

Some students are preparing for the Gymnastics festival at the moment. The George brothers enjoyed watching them and even tried to join in. We were worried about them getting injured, but they stretched first and seemed to be ok. (We think Curious George got a bit scared on the beam - he doesn't like heights much!)

We had a fantastic day with the George brothers and look forward to seeing what they get up to in other classes around the region.

Monkeys VS Caroline (BOT Chairperson)
Down at the netball courts Creative and I decided to have a little fun. We were sitting in the pavilion when we heard a bell and someone say, “Quarter time”.

“I thought this was netball not maths,” said Creative.
“It is netball!” I replied.

Anyhow, about a minute later we saw a lady walk out of a door that read ‘OFFCIALS ONLY’.
“Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” we said to each other.
“Come on let’s go!” I called.

After about a million stairs, which took forever to climb, we finally got to the office. With a massive leap we were on the gigantic desk.

“My turn to speak” said Creative. Me, being my normal ‘curious’ self, found the…microphone! I was about to introduce myself when Creative snatched the microphone, and told me not to do it, otherwise we would get in heaps of trouble.

We ended up having a cat fight over the microphone. My great, but annoying brother Creative threw it out the window.

“I did not you did it!” yelled Creative, angrily.
“Ok, ok, whatever!” I said, and then the phone rang. We didn’t exactly know what to do at first, but then we decided to work as a team to answer it. With a huff and a puff we managed to pick up the phone.

“Hello,” I said.

“Hello, Boys!” the voice boomed. I realised it was Caroline, and we were in deep trouble. We used our defence skills and tried to run away. But it didn’t really work. Caroline got a hold of us and pinned us to the fence for punishment. And that's pretty much how our fun ended.

Room 10 Sacred Heart

Curious George and Creative George spent Friday in Room 10. They were impressed with the Kiwiana we made in Discovery Time. They played in our playground and watched us skip. They went to the Basilica for Mass and were very well behaved. We were worried about leaving them at school over the weekend so Curious George went home with Mrs Moynihan to Cannington and Creative George went home with Miss Field, so he could go skiing on Monday with the seniors.

Curious George loved riding on the T-Rex chasing sheep and in the tractor to feed out to the cattle.

The George Brothers Visit Room 9 SHPS!

On Tuesday the George Brothers came to see us in Room 9. They watched us do our Reading and our Writing and Handwriting. They thought that we were excellent! They popped in to the Reading Recovery Room to see what happens in there!

In the afternoon they helped us with our Maths. After Brain Break they joined us for Music and played some instruments! They especially liked joining in with "Bananas in Pyjamas". They had a really good time in our class. Next stop.....Room 1.

Visiting Room 5 (Year 7&8) at Timaru Christian

Well the brothers only had an afternoon with us, but they enjoyed reading about the 'clean' cup issues reported in that morning's paper and how it related to our water cycle unit. It was interesting to note that the toilet seat may be cleaner then your teacher's coffee cup or the sink you wash your hands in. The brothers also had fun using the Bloom's "Thinking Hats" to brainstorm how they could become New Zealand's leading "Hip Hop" duo. They also helped Samantha answer the quiz questions on our Wiki page! Good luck boys on your adventures!!
(Oh yeah that is me holding a "Sucker Fish" in Bluff. First one I have ever seen. Found it in a close to dried up water pool (alive) and it latched on to me right away. Gave it a better water pool to live!

The Georges in Room 4 at Winchester

Wow, what amazing fun Curious and Creative George have had over the week in Room 4 helping us with creating Windows Movie Maker slideshows. We have been showing them how to take pictures with digital cameras and importing these into Movie Maker and adding transitions and sound. The slideshows were all about shipping disasters and we got to draw each slide in our show and then take a photo of it. One day at morning tea time during Read and Feed Curious got covered in yoghurt. “Oh no” everyone said. Creative laughed. Curious looked like he hadn’t been up to mischief. But he had!

Here's Creative and Curious on our school bus with us on the way to our Music Festival singing practice with Temuka, Arowhenua and St. Josephs Temuka Schools. They sang really well even though they didn't know the words very well.

The George Brother's in the workshop!

The George Brothers were very excited because they were going on the bus to TTEC in Timaru with the lovely Year Eight class from Pleasant Point Primary School.

The monkeys went to the Hard Materials class first. They loved wearing the saftey googles although they were way to big for them. Mr. Sharples (the teacher) got really angry with them because they kept on playing with the hammers and nails. In the end through they were playing piggy back and were becoming great friends!?!?!

Next they went to the Electronics Class. They loved the Year Eight's designs but wanted to manufacture their own. The brothers kept on copying Jordana's test answers, but later were caught red handed on camera!

Soon it was 11.45am and we had to make our way back to school!
