Well, it is almost the end of term one and doesn’t time fly when you are having fun! I am very happy with how the students in Room 25 have settled in to the expectations of the classroom. In week 10 there will be no homework as we will be revising concepts learnt throughout the term.
Literacy Update
The children have settled in well to the routines of Literacy Rotations. These are held each morning from 9:00-10:30 and incorporate phonics, reading, writing, spelling, grammar, punctuation and printing. A highlight of each week is the VCOP Big Write, where the students get a chance to showcase the vocabulary and grammar and punctuation skills that they have practised throughout the week.
Science Update
We have now planted our plants into the school garden. We have also concluded our investigation on what happens to plants if they do not get any sun. Our plants kept in the cupboard did not grow and interestingly enough the other two plants kept by the window did not either. The only plants that grew were kept in the Green House. This was an interesting development which lead onto conversations about temperature and climate. This is why we love science! Next week we are going to look over ‘Our Wonder Wall’ and see if we have enough knowledge of biological sciences to answer our questions.
Buddy Class
Last week we helped our buddy class do some Easter cooking. Afterwards, we read our buddies a story under the trees and then played a game of Duck, Duck Goose. I was very impressed by the maturity and manners displayed by Room 25.
Well done everyone!
Kind Regards,
Miss Mills
