Festive Fun in Room 6

The boys and girls in room 6 have been busy creating festive designs and crafts and completing Christmas themed ICT activities.  

The students become the teacher in Room 15

Pupils worked very hard to write a procedural writing piece in Room 15 based on a new playground game that they created.

They worked in pairs to come up with the new game and wrote down the rules to the new game.

In the yard we all got to try out the games and we had to listen to the inventors for the aim and the rules.

It was great fun!!

Christmas decorations in Room 15

The pupils in 5th class were very busy making beautiful decorations out of clay.

The clay then had to be painted and glazed to create a beautiful decoration to hand at home or even give to someone special as a gift.

 

Merry Christmas Everyone from Room 15!

Learning from each other!!

Room 1 (2nd class) and Room 15 (5th class) came together today to learn from each other.

All of the pupil’s in Room 15 were paired up with a pupil in Room 1 and they taught their buddy about some procedural writing that they had learned.

The pupils used procedural writing to make Christmas snowflakes and also Christmas stocking with their new friends.

Then the 2nd class pupils taught the 5th class pupils all about the science project they had done about sugar content in drinks. It was very interesting.

It was a super day and we cant wait to do it again!!
