ROOM 9

Room 9's learning.

Room 9 say ' Come and Climb the learning tree with me!' that's their class metaphor!

For Writing each day Rm 9 draw pictures and describe and write about their pictures. They also write a recount about what they did on the weekend or the holidays.

Recently, they all wrote 'I Am A Smarty Pants Because...' and they all finished the sentence.

For Reading each day, they sit down at their tables and pick a book from their reading group box or from their class library, or they practice reading their group book plays.

For Art they tried to mimic a picture of The Mona Lisa. Most kids did a picture of The Mona Lisa and they did a very good. They also drew hands to go on the tree.

For Fitness they usually run around the field after they've done Jump Jam. Jump Jam is where they do fun activities and dances in the morning. For running they train for cross country.

For Maths they count to ten, play with counters and maths games and find compliments to 20.
They like to play with maths rockets and beans to help them with hard problems.

Golden Time is a special time where they get to draw and read their favourite book or a book of their choice.

This week they are learning to log onto computers. Every week they learn something new as a class and at the end of the week they all know how to do their class task.

ROOM 2

In Room 2 they are WILD about learning. That's their class metaphor. We asked some of the students what they do in class.

They plan their writing by drawing pictures in their writing books and share their piece of writing with their classmates when they're done.

They often write a recount about what they did the day before. Just like a reflection on their day. When they get back from school trips they write a recount about where they went and about what they learnt.

For Maths they write number equations and answer them. They use pipes and counters to solve their maths problems. They also use jars with a number on them like 100's 10's 1's to help them with hard maths problems.

For their recent Art unit they coloured in animals from the jungle and glued their own faces on a zoo keeper picture. They made a flower and they glued their faces on it. The students also created self portraits of themselves. They also cut out pictures and tried to figure out if they were new or old.

They're very enthusiastic about their learning and we can't wait to visit them again.
