Tuesday, 5 July: Day Zero

The unusual class of Huia1 has entered what we call a "Day 0", a day when Huia1 simply does not follow the normal schedule, when silent reading and catching-up-work reign supreme. Not handwriting, portfolio work and Anthology, but a "major" clean up. This operation, manned by Sarah J. and Hunter, covered the area in front of the whiteboard, to our teacher's very own desk! [ you would be surprised to see what it's usually like].

The teacher, who normally would have been talking about Sir Peter Blake or where Tibet is, has retired to her desk and is typing away on her laptop marking our work with us individually - only stopping once in awhile to question a student as to what he/she is doing.

Note from Mrs Vincent:
Day Zero - when there are too many students away from the classroom (sports day /ill) for the planned programme to be effective; a day which provides wonderful opportunities to do all those activities we never seem to have time to do.

Thank you to everyone who helped in our major classroom tidy up and portfolio-sorting.
