Busy, busy, busy room 22
WOW!!
It is week 5 already!!
We have been so busy this term I thought i would take a minute to let you know what we have been up to.
Maths
Room 22 have been reflecting on our maths learning and have realised that we all have different needs. The students have highlighted the areas they need to work on and are busy working on their individual learning pathways.
Literacy
We have used some of our reading and writing time to read and gather information on a range of animals, summerise our learnign and create information boards. We have also looked at brochures and have begun to create our own visitors brochures. we have studied personification poetry and written some fireworks poems. Some of our published work is on the blog. We have read and discussed a range of texts, and practised a few plays to improve our fluency, intonation and comprehension as well as being able to use our creative flair.
PE
We have been practicing the skills needed for athletics events and are looking forward to athletics day in week 5. (Tuesday 13th November)
ART
We have made some awesome calendar art, and are now working on an embossed name plate. Later in the term we will be using our skills to create a scale for a very special piece of art.........!!
ZOO INQUIRY
I am sure you have all heard about the zoo inquiry we are doing. Each group has designed and created their own zoo taking into account the needs of the animals and visitors. They have planned, and drawn their plans on grided paper. They have researched the animals in their zoos and summerised their learning in the form of an information board. they have used google docs to publish their information boards on each animal. (I am slowly uploading them to the blog) They have begun to make decisions for fencing and flooring and are busy costing these items. Our next step will be to design shelters for the enclosures and later on create enrichment activities for the animals.
We have already had many events and special days this term including:
