Room 19s blogging!

Yesterday Room 19 published their own letters to Santa on their blog!  We wrote our letters in our writing books first and then as a whole class learnt how to post to our blog!  Room 19 were really excited to see their blog post "go live."  Click on the learners' names on the right of our blog and have a look at some of our great Santa letters!

A Special Session with our friends in Room 9

On Friday, Room 19 welcomed Room 9 into our classroom.  They interviewed us in the morning about what our favourite things were.  The answers provided were extremely varied and included rugby league, Superman, Frozen  and lego.

Room 9 then went away and created jigsaw puzzles based on the answers that Room 19 had provided.  After lunch they returned to our classroom with their creations.  They helped their younger friends from Room 19 to complete the puzzles and Room 19 were able to take the puzzles home.

Mrs Belt and Miss Wood really enjoyed seeing how much fun all the learners had and how the younger learners really enjoyed making friends with their older peers.  We finished our special session with an ice block treat outside in the sunshine!

Thank you Room 9 for the amazing effort you put into the puzzles for us!  We think you are awesome.

Highlights from Room 19

For our PENN movie this week Room 19 shared some of the things we like about Pt England School since we started earlier this year, alongside some of our favourite art work.  We hope you enjoyed our movie.

Exploring shape

To assist with our knowledge of shapes, we've been using shapes in our inquiry to draw some animals.  On Friday we were drawing giraffes using Explain Everything and the shape tool.  Check out some of our giraffes:

School Athletics Day

On Friday Room 19 joined the whole school at Athletics Day.  We were super lucky with the weather as it was a beautiful day with a light breeze to keep us cool.  We had a total of 12 events including sprints, throwing, jumping, obstacle courses and fun with the parachute.

A huge thanks to Miss Vaafusuaga for all her hours of organisation and work behind the scenes to make the day so successful!  Room 19 had an amazing day!

A Yummy Cold Treat

At the end of last week Hannah's Mum bought in some yummy ice blocks as a treat for the whole class.  We really enjoyed sitting in the sun as we ate our ice block.

A huge thanks to Hannah's Mum for this delicious treat from all the learners in Room 19!

A Whole New World

Room 19's Film Festival entry showcases the amazing learning journey we take as we use the iPad each day.

We really enjoyed using costumes as it made us feel like 'real actors'!  We hope you enjoy watching our movie.  Please leave us a comment as we love hearing from readers of our blog.
