Chester Borrows visits Room 4

Room 4 had a special visitor today. Chester Borrows came into our classroom to see what things we were doing with our iPad class. We were doing writing at that time and he was able to see some of students doing Lexia on their iPads and 1 group was working on a google doc together.  Here Ashton is showing Chester our Aurasma art work.

Writing Road

The children explaining how our writing road works. Once our class finish good writing models at different stages, these will be posted on our wall so children can see what writing looks like at different stages.

Life Education

This was our last visit to Harold and Life Ed this year. We learnt lots about our personality and how unique we are. Harold also showed us how some of our major organs such as our heart and kidneys, and also explained how important they are to our body. We look forward to seeing Harold next time.

Digital Self-Portraits

We have finished our first piece of artwork for the year. We have made a digital self-portrait using mosaic art. We also used Aurasma to show information about ourselves.

COUNTING ON USING MATERIALS

In maths today the Stars learnt how to count on using materials. We all decided that it is easier to add the smaller number on to the bigger number e.g. 3 + 9 start with 9 and add on 3 to get 12. If we get stuck we can use materials such as counters to help us count on.
