The Great Bubble Blowing Competition!

 We each had a piece of bubble gum. We chewed and chewed and chewed it. Then we tried to blow a bubble!

Here are the photos of our attempts. 

Our School Garden

 Our class is responsible for the bee-friendly garden by the junior playground. We are beginning to weed it and get it ready for some new plants!

Here is David being a great helper and weeding our garden bed.

Imaginative Play

 Faye and Stefanie made some people and turned them into friends and family! They played soccer together and had some wonderful character voices😁

Welcome to our Room 9 blog spot for 2021

 This will be the forum I hope to use to share the learning that is occurring in the room.

Here are Charlie, Cassius and David trying for the third time to build a tower that won't fall down. Cooperating and problem solving together, listening to one another and showing great perseverance to the job at hand.

My Favourite Things

Today in our Cybersmart lesson we made a movie about our favourite things. We talked about the kind of information we can share online and decided to share our favourite food, our favourite drink and our favourite animal. Some of us worked really quickly and added something else that they liked.

We had to do an image search to find our favourite things. We used the microphone to enter our search terms with which made it really quick.

Here are some of your movies.

Fiske likes really yummy things to eat and drink...

Lily added one more favourite to the end of her movie. I wonder what it was?

And Vincent told us about a super hero he likes. Who is your favourite super hero?

Ruma Waru's Bug Hotel and Bee Garden

We have FINALLY erected our very own bug hotel near our bee garden! Phew! Huge thanks go to Mrs Wagner for putting it all together! Now we need to fill it full of things that our bugs would love to live in.

If each child could please bring 1 pinecone OR an empty toilet roll OR a handful of straw OR part of an empty egg carton OR a small piece of wood (or something close to these) then everyone will be able to contribute to filling our buy hotel. 

Our school has a bug house down by the butterfly garden which we will also be dismantling later this term with Mrs McCormack so anything we don’t use in our hotel will be used down at the house.

We will also be planting out our Room 8’s “Bee Friendly Garden” within the next week or so. As you can see the students have had a great go at weeding, now we will add compost and then plant some seedlings. If you have any flower seedlings that you are willing to donate to our garden that would be greatly appreciated!

Photo Editing

Today in our Cybersmart lesson we were editing photos. 

We took a selfie on our iPad. We duplicated the photo and then edited 2 of the photos by using the editing tools on our iPad. 

We were able to use filters, draw with a pen, add text and some of us found the magnifying glass which was a lot of fun!

Here are Giannina's photos...
