Plants topic

We have been learning about plants in Room 11. Here is a picture Mrs Paterson turned into a jigsaw on her teacher only day.

The Ned Show

The Ned show was very fun. It was about yo-yo tricks. Clyde told us about an adventure that Ned had. It seemed to take hours. He showed us lots of different tricks with the yo-yo. He let someone have a free yo-yo. Ned stands for:
Never give-up
Encourage others
Do you're best

Term 3, 2011

Today is the first day back for the term. We're excited because we get to play with our school friends again.
During the holidays we got better, went to the movies, shopped and visited places like the zoo. While we were away, there was a lot of construction around our school - they have put down new concrete, drains, and are building a new ramp by Room 14 and 15.
This term our tables are moved around, we are sitting in different places. We have also changed our timetable for the day. We are writing first, doing maths after break 1 and reading at the end of the day.

My first week back at school

In my first week back at school I was a little bit shy. When I found out that I was in Room Eleven I burst out with excitement. My teacher is Mrs Paterson.
In the first week, we spent our time sorting out our books in our desk. It was a pretty good week, and it was cool to find out where we were sitting. We made little tag cards to show us where we sit. Our class has Year 2's and Year 3's. Our classroom is colourful. By Amritha

Cake walk

On Tuesday it was cake walk I got 47 tickets. I did not win a cake. I wanted to win a cake. I liked the green cake it had green icing. It said pick me. It was fun. By Allena

Mrs Corke

Every Thursday we go to Mrs Corke to learn new songs. Sometimes she is angry when people are naughty but when people are good she is not angry. Sometimes we get to dance. Room 11's favourite song is 'Believe it or not'. by Tiyashna

Fundamental Skills with Natalie.

This term, in fundamental skills with Natalie, our skills to learn were balancing and jumping for distance. My favorite game in trying to balance was "Medusa" the woman who had snake hair.
How to play: one person had to be Medusa and they turn around, when they turn around you have to balance/freeze and if you moved you had to start again. The first person to touch Medusa was next. Natalie is leaving at the end of this term, term 2. We go to the hall with our Wednesday teacher, Mrs Mcleod. We always have fun and do a little giggle.

The science experiment

In the last few weeks room 11 has been working on our science experiment. My class was working on balancing a potato and a fork and a pencil on a table. We kept trying to balance the fork, potato and pencil but we could not make it work. It was so much fun doing the science experiment. By Kyan.

Performing arts

We have been learning some singing and drama with Mrs Corke in performing arts. It's fun and we have been learning tempo, pitch, dynamics, rhythm and beat. We also have been doing some dancing and singing. Footloose is one of my favourite songs. By Francis Yang

Stu Duval Story Teller

Last week, there was a show that we watched and it was on Wednesday 18th May 2011. Stu Duval told us about what he does and how he makes letters into anything. Stu Duval started with an 's' and he added two dots and also added a prickle and a line. It looked like a face. By Vincent.

Stu Duval

Early in the morning, on Wednesday last week, we went to the hall to see Stu Duval. Stu Duval said to the school "do you know your abc's". Everyone knew it. Then he did this letter; it was the letter S. He said "S, two dots, a prickle and a line". After that we laughed and we had a try at that. By Tansi

maths

We have been learning about maths every day. We are trying to do division and making tens. My group is called Circles. by Jaedyn

The cool science fair

At the start of term two we had a cool science fair. Room 11 did an experiment with gravity. We tried to balance a potatoe, fork, and pencil so that only the pencil tip touched the table. Room 11 is still trying it, even though it is very hard. Year 5 were doing friction and year 6 were doing action/reaction. by Scarlett Boyle.

Performing Arts

On Thursdays we go to Mrs Corke to do singing, drama, music and dance. We always do
'Believe it or Not' but we still have to choose other songs. Mrs Corke always has a beautiful voice when she sings songs with us if we need help. We have lot's of fun with Mrs Corke because we
play lots of games like musical statues and loud and soft. Mrs Corke has to stop the music and play the music when we play musical statues. She controls our loudness and our softness so with our instruments we make them the way she wants us to make.

Our science experiment

This term we have done an experiment on gravity. It was an experiment where you balance a fork, a pencil and a potato. The whole thing collapsed and fell. It was very fun! By Andy.

Term 2

We have an exciting first week planned as its our science fair.
In Room 11 we are experimenting with gravity.
So far our testing has not produced the result we would like, but we will keep trying!
