Our new IPad

We are very lucky to have an ipad in our class to use.  We have written penguin stories then coloured in a special picture and used the quiver app to make 3D penguins. We have also used the sock puppets app to practice reading our poems out loud and at a good speed.










Pirate Fun with Mrs Palmer

While Miss Nation was away on camp with Room 15 we had lots of fun being pirates - check out our pictures!




My penguin story

One day Bob the penguin was  running to the South Pole to see Santa to get his present but   santa wasn't home. 

Bob found the key and unlocked the door and he got his present,  his present was a thousand fish and he took them home to eat.

Life Education

We had a lovely time visiting Harold the Giraffe in his truck. We learnt lots about the brain. We learnt that the brain controls everything in the body. It makes our hearts beat and our lungs breathe. We had to put together a puzzle of the brain but it was a bit tricky because we had to to it in mad scientist lighting - (red light).

Story of the week

Learning Investigation: Can I use verbs and adjectives to make my story more interesting

Today room 9 went to see Harold in his classroom. We had to figure out Harold's maths problem and it was 1 + 1 = 2 but he already figured it  out. We used our fingers to make stars appear on the roof. The man was using an ipad to control the screen. We learnt lots about what our body needs - food, oxygen, love, sleep and exercise.

We are really excited in Room 9 as we now have one to one computers. We are busy at the moment learning how to take care of them. Yesterday Miss Nation showed us how to go to our google drive and open google docs. We are also creating our own blogs to show our learning. Thanks Mrs Larsen and Ms O'Connor!
