Week 5 - Holiday Collages

Pop in and have a look at the magnificent holiday collages...  

Here is an example...

Week 5 - Sunflower writing

We are learning how to build a picture in the readers mind by adding adjectives to our writing.  

This week we went down to the garden and had a look at the beautiful sunflowers.  The children wrote while they were down there and then came back to draw some sunflowers.

The work is stunning...

Jamie and Angela had their work chosen for the Week 6 school newsletter. 

Such a proud teacher moment... 

Week 3 and 4 - Maths

 

In Week 3 I taught the children about how to feel about maths positively.  Then they got to play lots of cooperative games such as 1 - 2 NIM...  Have a look below if you want to learn how to play it...

In Week 4 they then got to put all the learning into practice and work alongside a buddy to solve some number problems.  It was fantastic to see them getting excited about maths and being so proud of their efforts.

Here are some of the problems.

Week 4 - Self Portraits

Over the past 2 weeks the children have been learning about how to build a picture in the readers mind by using adjectives.  

They learnt how to sketch a picture of themselves and around the outside they glued adjectives to describe themselves.  These are such wonderful self portraits.  

Here are just a few.  

Pop in and come and see the rest...

Week 2 and 3 - Welcome to Room 11!

Week 1 - Weta

Mrs Hanson had a weta crawling around in her shed.  Mrs Massey went and got it and put it in a bug catcher.  We looked at the weta and then learnt all about it.  

What a great impromptu learning moment...

We watched this youtube clip about a giant weta.  We couldn't believe some of the facts we learnt...
