Term 3 has begun!

Welcome to the first post for term 3. I can't believe that we are over the half way mark already! This term the whole school is starting the day with Play is the Way games. These games are helping us to build our social skills through positive play experiences. Room 11 has enjoyed starting the day with some fun. This term will be learning about the Human Body. We have written down lots of questions that we would like find out the answers too. We will also be studying an Information Report during our Accelerated Literacy lessons.
To build on our social skill learning we have started a new program called 'What's the buzz?'. The class enjoyed making videos last week on appropriate ways to greet people, holding a conversation and then saying goodbye. Tomorrows lesson will be on appropriate ways to gain attention.
We have also had a successful excursion to the cinema this term. The Ladies of Variety invited us once again to see 'Cars 2'. I think it's pretty safe to say that everyone enjoyed the movie and the day out.
Enjoy the slideshow below!

  1. Hello Room 11!

    Your self portraits are fabulous! How did you create the backgrounds? The designs you created with the pop sticks were very creative, as well.

    It looks like you are off to a great start in Term 3. I am looking forward to reading about your learning adventures.

    We are starting classes here in about 2 weeks, so I am busy getting our classroom ready for all of the 1st graders. I like the way you are building social skills. We will be working on those here, as well.

    Have fun!

  2. Hi Mrs. S!
    It's nice to hear from you. I hope you have enjoyed your summer break. The backgrounds of our portraits were made using collage. We cut up tiny pieces of coloured paper and glued them on.
    We are looking forward to seeing all the learning the new 1st graders do!
