Room 21 MVS 2019

It is so exciting to have everyone back energised for Term 2. It sounds like the children in Room 21 had fabulous holidays and were able to spend lots of quality time with their family. What an amazing Term of learning we have ahead of us. In Writing, we are going to be looking at writing Narratives, so those who love imagination and being creative will be excited!  Then later in the term we will look at Information Reports to lick in with our Inquiry. In Maths, we will be looking into Multiplication and Division and a very exciting Measurement Rich task in the middle of the Term that includes designing your Dream Garden. In Reading, we will be focusing on asking questions, skimming and scanning and summarising. Our Inquiry this term will be looking into Sustainability. In P.E will be focusing on Winter Sports Skills, such as soccer, hockey, basketball and netball. So as you can see it will be go-go-go for 10 weeks!  We can't wait to get into it!

We wanted to start the Term with a crazy and creative Writing activity. We looked at adding an interesting word to our vocabulary - balderdash (which is a fancy word for nonsense we decided). So we are creating our very own Balderdash Dishes which include some of the weirdest ingredients that you can imagine. We are using 'sticky verbs' to show our reader how to create our dish and then we will use 'sticky adjectives' to describe how it looks, tastes ans smells.  Check out these photos below of us creating and brainstorming our Balderdash Dishes....

Our lucky last Breakers session was today and it was definitely one of the best. Loads of fun games were played today and watching the enjoyment on the children's faces throughout the lesson was a real highlight.

Thanks so much to the wonderful team at HP who came and gave our Year 6 classes an introduction to the 'Hour of Code'. What a fantastic opportunity for our students. I was so impressed with the skills the children showed during the lesson and how much their knowledge developed. They were absolutely buzzing with what they learnt.
