Author's Chair

Everyday we practise our writing. We use a sentence starter to help us plan our sentences. Today's sentence starter was "When I do my best I feel...". We are all encouraged to write independently and 'have a go'. After writing some students then share their writing with the class. It is important that we are able to read our writing even if our spelling isn't perfect. Here are two videos of students in the 'Author's Chair'.

Ladies of Variety Disco!

Room 11 was lucky enough to be invited to another 'Ladies of Variety' event. They had work for this one though. Behaviour in the class needed to improve to earn this day of fun and they did it! Crazy hair was a hit with the kids and so were the tattoos and face painting. Some of us hit the dancefloor early and danced up a storm! Some of us preferred to watch the dancers on stage. Some of us had never been to a disco before so it was a great learning experience. All in all it was a fun couple of hours.

This week also saw Cassey celebrate her 11th birthday.

Happy Birthday Cassey!

Clay Animation

Room 11 have made their first clay animation. We came up with a story line and drew a story board. We designed our characters, chose our background and took a lot of photos. We really enjoyed making the animation and we are looking forward to making another one soon.

We hope you like it!
