This morning we reflected on the term for a bit...
...kept the normal programme up until 12, had a very cool Easter Liturgy (please have a look at the Facebook feed on the OLA home page), then...
...the children exercised the Key Competencies of Thinking for themselves, Relating to others, Understanding symbols and text, Managing themselves and Participating and contributing...independently.
And a noisy time was had by all.
Thank you for your support over this term, and have a safe and relaxing holiday.
Sorry for the late post, I was trying to find out more about these...
...loaned to us from Room 9 for the afternoon.
They are the British War Medal, 1914-1915 Star, Victory Medal that belonged to 10/2452 Pte H. Marshall, N.Z.E.F., 1st Wellington Btn, and how he was wounded @ Chunuk Bair from his service records. These state
"appt as cook cancelld 8.8.15; joined Battn. 11.8.15; Dischd Hosp. 3.12.15 [and then they go on to detail his service in France, including an abdominal wound]".
Can't seem to find if he was about to become a cook, of if it means something completely different. The date (August 1915) does seem to imply that he was wounded in the August offensives, and the Wellingtons did capture Chunuk Bair, so that fits...
Thanks Mrs McDowell, they were/are fascinating. And quite a privilege to handle.
Today we also investigated the volumes of our lunch boxes...
