Designing and creating with our Room 12 Buddies

Last term we enjoyed our learning with our Buddy Class - Room 12.  We had fun designing and creating these amazing Wow Costumes.  Our inspirations were - water, trees, kiwi and fantails.  

We thank Room 12 Buddies for sharing their learning with us. We loved dressing up and walking down the catwalk so that everyone could see us. Look at our finished efforts!

Using "Starfall.com"

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

We like learning counting, reading, and listening using Starfall.com. Mrs Paton is helping us in the Computer room.  

Here are some photos showing some of the things we like to do. 

Can you read what we like? 

Read, Read ,Read a book together

Everyday we practice reading our books. We are all learning to look closely at the words and point to each word as we read. Somedays our Room 12 Buddies come to read to us and one day Mr Peachey shared a story too. We love listening to stories being read.

Learning together

We are learning to write stories. First we think of an idea (draw a picture). Then we write letters and words across the page to make a sentence. Some of us our trying new words by hearing and writing some sounds. When we have finished our message we always like to share. Some days we share our messages with a friend in the class. We are always proud of our writing. Come into Room 5 and read our stories.

           We are fantastic writers!

Swimming in Vardon School pool

For seven weeks we had fun playing games and learning to swim in our school pool. Every afternoon  we swam with Room 6.  By watching each other and copying our friends, we learnt many new skills.    We can float and kick using long arms, we can float on our backs, we can float and kick with flutter boards, we can dive through hoops and we just loved having showers in the pool. What do like like doing in the school pool?
