Launch of our new blog site!!

Last week we had a visit from two Room 1 peer mediators who helped Neroli and Tracy to sort out a problem over sharing a bucket in the sandpit. We learnt how the mediators can help us at play times and also got some more ideas about how we can sort out our own problems.


As part of our work on the sound 'h' we made paper helicopters. Launching them was quite tricky at first as the wind blew them in the wrong direction but eventually they flew really well. We have put the video of our helicopters in flight on to to separate blog entry in case it is slow to load. ...hope you are able to view it.

Check out our link in the right hand side bar to our new Room 11 Kidz Stuff blog. This will allow you to view your child's own work, read their comments and add your own comments on their learning. Take a look on the blog at the Elmer pictures which we painted or alternatively see the class display in the school entrance area.

This week we will be looking at the sounds 'm' and 'd' and starting to make a digital movie to accompany the song 'Dragons Under My Bed" by Kath Bee. Our tricky words are 'me' and 'be'. In maths we will continue developing our number knowledge by counting backward from 10 and identifying before and after numbers. We hope to complete our class treaty so that we are all agreed on our rights and responsibilities in Room 11. Swimming should continue this week, weather permitting.

Well done to everyone who walked, scooted or cycled to school this week. Remember we will be collecting data again on Wednesday.

Reminders
Monday: Library books due back
Wednesday: Walk to School Wednesday
Swimming: everyday this week
Friday 13th: School photo day
Thursday 19th: Trip to Suter Art Gallery
