Recorder Sketchings

AllStars — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 03:15:29 +0000

We have had a couple of “Jellybeans” music lessons so far this term and are really excited to be learning to play the recorder.

Recently we used charcoal pencils to sketch some aspects of our recorders. We tried to experiment by pressing softly and more firmly, using the side of the pencil and the tip of the pencil as well.

Here are our finished sketches …..

Our Big Beliefs Project

AllStars — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 03:02:01 +0000

Over the past few weeks we have been working on our own “Big Beliefs Project”. We have been finding out about the different beliefs and religions people in our class and our community have.

We have found out many interesting things about religions, and the different ways that diffent people worship in their religion.

To try and keep track of the information we are finding, we have constructed tables to put our info in. Each group had to come up with their own table/grid and the topics/ headings that they would be finding out about.

In this slide show you can see us working together to come up with our tables/grids. We are having lots of fun sharing our ideas, listening to each other and encouraging everyone’s ideas and thoughts.

You can see what else we’ve been up to on our DET trial blog right here!

Family Traditions and Beliefs

AllStars — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 11:11:37 +0000

The students from Room 202 have been writing about the special traditions their families have – special days, special routines, special sayings.

Have a read of their posts over on their blog, and then come back here to leave a comment about the special traditions you have in your family.

What special days do you celebrate? What does your family do to celebrate these days?

Does your family have their own traditions/sayings/routines when you go to bed or get up in the morning or when its your birthday or the weekend?

Lets share our family traditions will they be the same or different?

Sitting in the dark…

Squashed up by the windows…

Reading by the light from outside…

What’s going on?

NOT THE LIGHT!

NOT the Computer!

NOT the IWB!

It’s Earth Hour!

Earth hour is a time where all electricital appliances are turned off to conserve electricity for 1 hour.

Globally, Earth Hour will be held 8:30 pm – 9:30 pm on Saturday night, but we wanted our school to participate so we are having earth hour this morning.

Earth Hour has made us think about:

How we can save electricity
How we can be in the future
How it was in the past
How it can help the future
Global warming
Sleeping!!!

Don’t forget if we use too much electricity we could be back in the DARK AGES!!!!!!!-(boom tish).

Cool Chemistry

AllStars — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 05:53:12 +0000

The CSIRO came to visit again and we had a great morning learning all sorts of things about Chemistry.

We were able to do many experiments to see how chemicals and substances reacted when mixed. We looked at acids and alkalines, we measured temperature changes, we made slime and mixed, observed and predicted what might happen next.

We think that we will explore Cool Chemistry further, back in class for the next few weeks. Stay tuned!

Getting to Know Each Other

AllStars — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 05:10:21 +0000

To help us learn about each other, and how we could learn together, we worked through some games and activities that promoted team work and collaboration.

We wanted to help everyone feel that they belonged to the class, and that together we could learn more, achieve more and have more fun learning.

Here are some photos of us making STARS in groups, by talking, sharing, listening and working together!

Next we will be sorting a new theme for the year, and adding some of the things we’ve already got up to this year. We can’t wait to share our learning with all our friends around the world.

Gee it’s good to be back

Carronshore Visit

AllStars — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 17:29:10 +0000

We also visited Carronshore School – remember Mrs Vass and her class??

Well, Mrs Vass took us to visit with Primary 5LW and they had heaps of questions to ask about Australia.

Mrs Vass made a (very embarrassing) video for P5LW and you can see it on their blog here.

They also have some new pets to show you!

Why not leave some welcoming comments?

Here are some photos I took at Carronshore:
