Lilith, Amber, Ashley, Summer's Post on Wednesday, 9 September 2015

Today we made a flower garden with spirals in it. It also had leaves made of hands and it had lots of butterflies. The trees have hands for leaves. The snails were the biggest ever. Their names are Bobby, Groovy, Abby, Emily, Rainbow Rise and Shine and Daisy. By Amber, Ashley, Lilith and Summer

Ashley wrote and read this story out loud. Well done, Ashley!

Big Air Gym

Every second Monday this term we have been walking to Bigair Gym.  Room 12 has enjoyed learning how to use the different equipment and they have been practising their gymnastic skills.  They have been practising things like balancing and flexibility while also learning new skills and increasing their fitness.  The students are slowly being challenged which has been great for their confidence.

Insect week part two

We have done SO much insect work this week. We should all be able to say some of the things that make an animal an insect. We learnt how many body parts an insect has (3), how many legs an insect has (6), what an insect has on top of their head (antennas/feelers), and something that a lot of insects have (wings).

Some of us have been enjoying school work so much this year that we start doing our handwriting and writing before school even starts for the day!

Graphs and Tally Charts Part 2

We have been working very hard in Room 12 over the last two weeks. We have been learning how to collect information and transfer information into graphs. This is so that we can make sense of the information around us. Today we decided to have a go at tallying M & M's and then we put the information that we had gathered into a bar graph.
