Constable Marty visits Room 1

Today we were lucky enough to have Constable Marty in our classroom.

Constable Marty came and visited as part of our Inquiry on Safety and Survival.

We learnt about wearing our seatbelts, calling 111 and lots of other information about what police do.

Check out the photos of us singing and learning with Constable Marty.

Holy Spirit

We are learning about the Holy Spirit in Religious Education at present.
Today Miss Brock brought in a bowl of milk with three different coloured dyes. She poured some dishwashing liquid in and we watched the colours quickly mix together.
After the experiment we talked about how this experiment could also show us the way that the Holy Sprit, God and Jesus all come together in a similar way.

Special Secrets....

Today Room1 made something ultra secret and extra special. Here is a sneak preview of the materials used and the students working hard on their creations.

You never know when these wee beauties might turn up!

Art from Tuesday 7 May

Here is a preview of our completed Art/Maths from yesterday!

Handwriting in Room1

We are fantastic at getting ourselves organised every day after lunch for Handwriting. You can see some pictures below of us- Look at how hard we are concentrating!

We practice our Handwriting every day, the letter changes each week to match our learning of letter sounds and blends.

Arty Shapes

We are learning about Shapes this week for Maths. Our learning is based around learning all of the language about shapes, being able to sort them but also using them to create different pieces of Art. 

Here are some pictures of our 'Masterpieces' from yesterday and you can also see us working on our projects today. Keep an eye out for pictures of our finished products tomorrow!

Todays artwork- Impressive!

Adding some colour to our pictures

Key Competencies in Room1

Our Learning of the Key Competencies

Today we spent some time learning about the Key Competencies. We asked the Year 3 students from Room 2 to come and be our experts. 

Miss Brock made up 5 different Y charts for us to brainstorm our ideas on to. We focussed on Thinking, Managing Self, Using Language Symbols and Text, Relating to Others, and Participating and Contributing. 

Ask any of us how we know when we are using the Key Competencies and they will explain the "Peg System."

Success!

Welcome back!

I hope that you have all had a super holiday and are ready to come back for a fabulous term which is full of great learning and fun. 

Here are some pictures of some of the cool areas in our classroom for this term.
