Foyer Display

Be sure to come in next term and check out Room 11's foyer display! Big thanks to Mrs Hamilton who worked with the children to create these beautiful sunrise poems and art work.

Have a wonderful holiday break and see you all next term!

Performance Assembly!

Room 11 made a last minute decision to sing "Fight Song" at our school performance assembly. We had some brave singers step up and sing solos and also had some gymnasts do a short routine. What a talented class we have. Everyone did so well and I am very proud of all the children - beautiful singing!

Picture books! Library!

We are making our own Picture Books in Room 11.

This week we decided to take a good look at different picture books and find out what they include... Author, Illustrator and a publication date! 

We also went to our school library to look at a range of books like non-fiction books and chapter books too.

The children were given the challenge to find the publication date of a book and try to figure out how old the book was. Some of the books were only 1 or 2 years old and other books were older than the children!

Chrome Books

Room 11 started using chrome books! Mrs Hamilton helped us to log in with our own username and password. The children then used Google Docs to publish some writing. Technology is becoming an important part of teaching and learning and we hope to use chrome books in our class more.

A couple of weeks ago we did an experiment called 'Balloon Rockets.'

Our learning environment

Can you spot a new face in our class? Welcome to Room 11 Trevor! And welcome (back) to Stanley Ave school!

It was that time again to revisit what it means to be a Team Player and how we can respect and support each other in our class. Phoenix suggested that we write a letter to someone who we may have hurt recently and apologise so that everybody can get along again. We also wrote bucket filling letters to people in the class. It was a great way to end the week in high spirits, let's keep it up for the rest of the term!

Today we also discussed different learning spaces we'd like to have in our classroom. Here are some of the ideas the children came up with.

We did some shifting around and will trial our new environment next week! 

Photos to come, watch this space.
