Creative Writing - The Twelve Doors

This week for writing we are tapping into our imaginations....

We are imagining that we are standing in front of twelve doors. Behind one there is a fabulous treasure. Behind the others are eleven of the most dangerous things in the world. We are going to draw and describe what lies behind each one.

We planned our ideas collaboratively and have begun drawing what lies behind each of our twelve doors. Then we will use adjectives, verbs, similes and metaphors to describe the objects. We are so engaged in this learning and listening to each others ideas has been really valuable to us developing our own.

Welcome!

Welcome to Room 21 2019! It is such a pleasure to be getting to know your children over the past few days. What a great class we have - full of diversity and positiveness. The class is settling well and learning the expected routines. Our learning journey is well underway and see how the children are so excited to learn news things and take on new challenges in their learning. In Writing, we have just completed our 'What Summer Means' poem and I was delighted with the quality of our poems. If you have a chance, please feel free to pop into Room 21 and look at our published copies hanging up - they are well worth a read.

We will also look at a variety of ways to display data and how to effectively analyse data. This will all be leading up to an individual Statistics Invest

Inquiry - Learning Pit

Image
Today in Inquiry, we looked at 'The Learning Pit'. We love the learning pit as a toll because it shows us that it's ok to struggle with our learning, that it's natural that some things are harder to learn than others, it's ok to seek help in our learning. By going through this process our learning is deeper and more meaningful and we will be more successful. As a class we talked about there are different stages when learning something new. We start by facing a challenge and this is the time when we could feel anxious, nervous or even scared about what is ahead of us. We 'fall' into the pit (Deep Learning) and start feeling confused, thinking it's all too hard. Then we start to realise that if we ask for help, keep trying and ask questions, we can begin to climb up out of the pit. By working together, collaboratively and positively we can reach the third stage of learning - Successful Learning. One of the best things about the Learning Pit is that it
