Sharing Our Earth and Beyond Folders

In Room 26 we had a lovely time sharing our Earth and Beyond folders with the children from Rooms 1 and 2. We have really enjoyed learning about Earth and the planets this term.

Athletics Day - Room 28 in Action

A few weeks ago the Year 2's had athletics day.  What a fabulous morning we had.  Check out some of our action photos.....

This term Room 29 have been looking at space. 

We have learned about Earth and other planets in our Solar System. 

Check out the clip below about planets, it's our favourite.
How many can you name?

This week we have been learning about the moon. 

Have you ever noticed that the moon changes shape in the sky at night? 

We have learned that as the moon orbits the earth the sun shines on its surface differently. This relection is what we see from Earth.

Today we showed the different phases of the moon using oreos! 
We even got to eat some too!

Happy Diwali!

Room 9 have been celebrating Diwali the Indian Festival of Lights. Indian people draw rangoli patterns in the doorways to welcome visitors. Room 9 designed their own rangoli patterns and drew them 
outside our room. NAMESTE!

Room 26 Love Art

In Room 26 we love art. Have a look at some of our Eric Carle inspired animal pictures. We used his story The Artist Who Painted A Blue House for inspiration. We hope you enjoy looking at our art.

Creating our masterpieces!

Room 28 have had a busy few weeks. These are some of the things we have been doing....

We have been getting fit practicing our skipping skills.

A few weeks ago the whole school got to watch a show performed by the 'Playhouse'.

On Friday the 2nd of September we had our first buddy class reading session with Room 18.  

On Friday we had Year 2 Singing.  This is us singing 

'Can't stop the feeling'.  It was fun!

Also on Friday night was the School Disco.  

What a fabulous night!

Mathematicians in Room 29!

In Room 29 we have been doing problem solving based learning in maths. We have learned how mathematicians work together to solve problems First they need to find the key information, think about what the problem is asking, next they give it a go the they share their thinking or strategy to others and prove their answer. 

We know that good mathmeticians...

....give it a go...sometimes disagree but that's ok...never give up but say "this isn't working i'll try something else"...take risks...share their thinking...prove their answers...make connections...work together...make mistakes...check their answers....know problems can have more than one answer!

Check out some of the problems we have been working on...

Ahmed used cubes to make a rod four cubes long:

How many cubes did he need to make a rod twice the length of that one?

How many cubes did he need to make one three times the length?

How many cubes did he need to make one four times the length?

One is a snail, ten is a crab 

We read the book One is a Snail, Ten is a Crab and had to find different ways to show numbers using the number of legs different animals in the story had, a snail has 1 leg, a person has 2 legs, a dog has 4 legs... a crab has 10 legs!

By Jiah and India

Look at all of our different solutions.

DAFFODIL DAY

We are wearing yellow because it was daffodil day. We were raising money for people who have cancer.

We made daffodils. We painted both sides of the top yellow. We painted the stem green. Mrs Ison stapled and hot glued the pieces together.

We are having pizza to celebrate 100 days of learning at school. The pizzas tasted really good. We have been great learners.

We are busy learners in Room 5. We are looking forward to performing in the Sneetches. See you there!

Skipping with our buddies

We had great fun skipping with our buddies from Room 22.

Our Fabulous "P" Party!
