We are learning to write poems

The children in Room 9 have been writing a variety of poems.  They have used extended abstract thinking as they have reflected on times that made them feel happy or bored.

Happiness is.....

Happiness is going to the beach on a blistering hot summers day.

Happiness is sitting inside doing nothing and then it starts hailing so you run outside and collect hail in containers.

Happiness is staying up until midnight and eating junk food.

By Briana.

Boredom is.....

Boredom is a dull, grey world with nothing fun to do.

Boredom is having no fantastic toy store to drag your mum into.

Boredom is being blistering hot on a day that you have been naughty and your brother gets an ice cream and tortures you with it.

By Eloise

ARTS FESTIVAL

Room 9 and 10 were fantastic performers at the Art Festival last week. They played Martian Boogie on their recorders. They had to practice really hard and it paid off. Well done!

Spinach- yum!

Today we picked the spinach out of our Edible Garden. It had grown very tall. 

Briana, Alex and Matt helped Mrs Jewell cook it and then we tasted the delicious spinach. Some of us liked it more than others!

Our visit to the building site

Today we went to visit the schools new music room which is been built behind the hall. Mr Northam showed us inside the building. We had to walk across a plank to get into the building, which was fun. We had to be really careful while we were walking. 

We had brainstormed lots of questions about the building and Mr Northam answered them for us.

Eva said, "It liked the building. I think the windows will look really good".

Niamh said, "It was great to get information from the builder".

Harrison said, "I learn that there is different kinds of wood".

Ashley said, "The building is big which is good because we will have space to practice our recorders".

Amy said, "It will look nice and shiny when it is finished, just like our hall".

The Internet

We are learning about the Internet this term. We have brainstormed everything that we already know about the Internet, like how it works, what it is, why we have it, and when we use it....

Here are our ideas:

-It can't be broken

-You can open safari

-You can surf the Internet

-You can google things

-You can look up words

-You can play games

-You can watch Youtube

-You can search things

-You can phone people on Skype

-You have to connect to a telephone wire

-It is a search engine

-You can listen to music

-You can download things

-It is hard to break

We will be using the Internet to research information about our topic 'dinosaurs'.

Welcome to Term 3!

I hope you all had a great break and are ready for an exciting term ahead.

This term our topic is dinosaurs and heating. If you have any books, or other resources at home that you would like to share with Room 9 we would really appreciate it.

This term the children will also be preparing and delivering a talk, reading and presenting plays,  writing postcards, poems and letters. Gymnastics and folk dancing will be covered during PE and we also have the Arts Festival coming up! So we have a busy and fun term ahead of us!

Our value this term is kindness. This is being discussed, modelled and celebrated in class. Hopefully your child will also show plenty of acts of kindness at home too!
