Catch the Wave

Coming up on Monday 24th we’re having our Wanganui ICT Cluster Celebration Day. Each school gets 40 minutes to share thier journey during the last 3 years using multimedia and oral presentations. Its created quite a bit of excitement in schools – although their secrecy means I don’t know what to expect. They want to surprise me on the day .. is this a good thing? I’m hoping so. Judging by the level of excitement, we’re in for an entertaining day. Anyway, I’ll let you know how it all goes later – after the event.

During the changeovers, I’ve planned a ‘lucky number – mystery prize’ game. When a number is drawn that person gets to choose a number and corresponding prize. The prizes are all worth winning except maybe the long round furry giraffe door draught stopper I bought at The Warehouse for $3.00! (But hey, if you have a draughty house …)

We’re also having a quiz of 20 questions (spread out over the day.) Teachers with the most correct answers will be in a draw for 3 great prizes. I’m putting all the questions below – so if you’re in our cluster and you read my blog, good on you! You’ve scored! Reading blogs pays off!
