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!

The Brothers visit Waitaki 3 at PPPS

The George Brothers helped George and George with their work on the living world when they visited Waitaki 3 at Pleasant Point Primary.

"We learnt all about adaptations"





" We also learnt about vertibrates and invertibrates"
"Did you know that a spider is an invertabrate"
Creative George wanted to join in and draw a picture but there wasn't enough time.




"George and George shared their reports with us."
"They were very busy in Waitaki 3."
As Curious George left, he said he had learnt heaps of stuff about animals.

The George Brothers Arrive at Winchester Rural School

Friday 18 June - Wow, what a lucky day to arrive! It is our 'House Responsibility Ramble Day' which means lots of exciting things are happening. The George Brothers got split up so they could enjoy the activities at school with Milford, Ohapi and Te Awa and the trip away with Waihi...

First stop is the Redruth Recycle Centre... a little noisy for George!

Brrr... a chilly day! George is keeping cosy with the girls.

A bit smelly as we see and smell where they make the compost!

Next stop... thawing out at Century Pool, George loved the hydroslide!

To finish our day we went to the Timaru Museum, George wanted to go for a flight on an albatross and he calls George back at school to tell him all about his day.

The George Brothers have a great day at Wigram Air Force Museum with Woodbury Year 4 -6 Class

Curious and Creative George really had fun exploring this exciting place.
Creative George enjoyed taking the controls of the plane and also checking out the radar from World War II.



While Curious George loved working out how to build, and then help his brother build a model aeroplane.He was so pleased to actually complete the model.

Visiting the Mackenzie - Room 2

The George Brothers came to visit Room2 at Fairlie Primary School when we were making Lali drums for our unit on the Pacific. We were so pleased when they helped by holding the brushes!

The George Brothers visit to RANGITATA 3

The George Brothers came to the Junior Discovery day in the hall. We played games in the hall.

George is hitting the balloon with a paddle! It was great fun. Everyone kept stealing George's balloon so he kept stealing our balloons. The balloons went everywhere! It was very noisy in the hall.

We rolled heavy balls across the ground and tryed to get them to land between two ropes. George was good at rolling the ball.

We juggled scarves! One scarf landing on George and he took it off and said "BOO!"

The George Brothers wrote Mothers Day cards. We used colourful paper and made hearts pop out when mum opens it.

The George brothers were good at helping us make the cards.

Curious George is making a funny face in this picture.

We enjoyed having the George Brothers in Rangitata 3, we can't wait to see more of your adventures.

George Brothers Visit St Joseph's Pleasant Point

Goodness Me! Look who arrived in the mail at St Joseph's today, Curious and Creative have arrived with mayhem in mind...

While the boss is away the monkeys did play... on Mrs Sandilands' computer. We hope they were being cybersafe?

They found Mrs Sandilands' stash of banana cake... and a quick trip to the dental nurse was required!

On a more serious note, Room 2 decided it was time for the George Brothers to go to confession for stealing the banana cake from Mrs Sandilands' DRAWERS!!!

Their penance was three Hail Mary's and dig the garden!

After their fun filled week they departed on Ms Ewer's express bus to Cannington.

Those cheeky monkeys...they were so naughty Ms Ewer sent them to sit outside.

As we 'wiped' away a tear we wished Cannington the best of luck!
