Changes

How are your ASPIREs going? I am really impressed with what I am seeing and the changes you are wanting to make!

What are some challenges you are facing? Leave a comment and if someone helps you out, you'll both receive raffle tickets!

Change

How is your evidence collecting going? it is important to realise WHY a change needs to occur because if there is not a problem then maybe change does not need to happen.

You are also in the early stages but you already have come up with some strong ideas.

Next step - experts!

Amazing ukulele!

Check out this fabulous clip!

Mrs Lowden and I working hard today. We were on a course all about autism and we had a great day and feel like we know a lot more!
The stadium is **wow** and we are really looking forward to seeing the Phoenix play on Saturday afternoon !
See you tomorrow!!

Chocolate Brownies

Hi team, we are having a big bake fest...chocolate brownies and now cupcakes, who would like some?? If I am at school tomorrow I will bring you all in some morning tea!

WE ARE CLOSED

The message just came over the radio that ALL schools are CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10 am start

At this stage we have a 10am start, keep on listening to the radio though in case "they" change their mind! The forecast is filthy so maybe they might make a late decision...wait and see....Sorry!! but it would be my recommendation that if you can stay at home (ie if your road is too icy or mum and dad are at home) then you should!

Snow day

So Room 7 , what have you been spending your day doing? I have been baking (and eating!!) in desperate need of a run!!

The course Mrs L and I are on on Wednesday may be cancelled as the man presenting cannot fly in to Dunedin! What a whole lot of disruption!

As for tomorrow....I am GUESSING that I wont see you until Wednesday!

Stay warm!
