The Blogging has Begun

We made it our goal for this week to post something on our blogs.  Earlier in the term the students in Room 14 had written poems about themselves following a set format.  This week we made them into a DLO (Digital Learning Object) and, for some of us, learnt how to post something onto our blog for the very first time.  We now hope to post on our blogs at least twice a week and some may post more than that.

Make sure you follow the links down the right hand side of this blog to find all of the students' individual blogs and you can read their poems.  Here is Andre's as an example of what you might find...

The Learning Continues

We feel like we are rolling along quite nicely now.  We are making sure we follow the routines in the classroom and keep thinking about our school values of Care, Share, Learn and Grow.  Lots of different virtues also get discussed as well.  

This week we have continued on our basic facts journey, working hard on times tables, addition and subtraction.  We have visited the library, which is a highlight of the week for quite a few of us and had SportStart and swimming.

Each Friday as part of our buddy session we will be helping them with their spelling word testing.  We did this for the first time this week and it seemed to run quite smoothly.  

We have still been swimming this week, although the air has a definite Autumn feel to it.  The pool closes this Friday so fingers crossed for some nice warm days still.

As you can see from the photos and what you have read in the blog post we are ensuring we are always ready for learning and making an effort to be better than before.
