We had a visitor from the USA visit our school recently – his name was NED.
NED:
N= Never give up
E= Encourage others
D= Do your best
NED taught us about being a good person, getting along with others and respecting yourself and everyone else too.
To help make the visit even better, NED told his story using a yo-yo and performing really good tricks.
Now lots of people have yo-yos and are learning to do tricks too!
I have had a few problems with the blog – but it is all fixed now. Here are some posts that I have made along the way on my trip. I hope you enjoy them
Here in New York I have found these amazingly huge games consoles.
What could we do with consoles as BIG as these?
Who can come up with the most original ideas – special prize for you if it’s your idea! leave your ideas in the comments section.
Classes at our school have been using Moshi Monsters each morning to build class and school community ties. Each class has their own monster, and spend part of each day solving puzzles and testing our general knowledge to win rox for our Moshi Monster. We use the rox to buy food and belongings for our Moshi Monster.
We have also been using Moshi Island to explore settings in narratives. The island has many places that would make fantastic settings for exciting stories. There is the volcano, the port, the haunted house, the snowy mountains and the swamp.
In small groups, we mind mapped our ideas for characters and problems that would appropriate for each of these settings:
We also had fun dsigning and making our own huge Moshi Monsters to decorate our classroom – here they are hanging in our room. What do you think of them???
Which Monsters do you like the best – the friendly ones or the scary ones?
Hello everyone – well, school has started for another year and I know that we will have a great time exploring, discovering and learning together.
I am still over here in the UK – England to be specific.
It’s been a busy month for me – meeting some of our blogging friends and looking at how technology is being used in Nursery Schools (little kids), Primary Schools (like us) and Secondary Schools (high Schools). Lots of different sorts of ways of using technology creatively and excitingly. Can’t wait to get back and try some of these things out.
Have a look at what Mrs Dyer and I have been up to on these presentations made while we were visiting!
This presentation was when we visited Easter Carmuirs Primary – who ’s blog is called “Take A Look Inside” why not pop over and leave a comment on their blog?
A big “Thank you” to Carronshore P5LW students who came up with a few new ideas for us to try in PE.
After working hard for the last 14 weeks, we are coming to the end of the Premier’s Sporting Challenge and we needed some different activities to keep us going during PE sessions.
Over the last couple of sessions we have tried out our badminton skills and skipping skills.
Badminton is trickier than we thought it would be – the shuttlecock is very light and is caught by the wind to make things difficult J
We are trying to skip “double dutch” using two ropes. Some of us can do this but others are taking a little longer to get the hang of this skipping business!
The AllStars are playing this cool game to finish up our work on the Olympics and “Healthy, Active Bodies” this term.
First up , we have been using the characters in the game to write new stories about what might happen when the different characters compete against each other in the Olympic sports.
Some competitors will be at a big disadvantage like Dr Eggman and diving, but others have some advantages like Mario and the hammer throw.
Ramiz has shared his story here, and other AllStars will be adding their stories onto their own blogs. Details and links as they become ready
