Picasso Art - Drawing

Our next step is to mix shades of colour and paint our still life artworks.

Learning with Modern Technology

A big part of learning these days is using computers and other technology.  

Room 10 were set with the task of creating a P0RTFOLIO COVER PAGE using the computer programme COMIC LIFE.  They had design a poster with specific titles and images that showed their unique interests.  

Each child had to learn how to search the internet for pictures, copy and paste images and save their work onto the school's server.  A tough task, but they showed how savvy this generation is when it comes to computers.

WELL DONE ROOM 10.

Below you can see three great examples of our portfolio covers.

A Caring and Cooperative Class

THE CHILDREN IN ROOM 10 are VERY CARING and COOPERATIVE

A great way to learn is in cooperative groups.  

This allows chidlren to share ideas in a safe environment, learn from others with different abilities and have the chance to take on leadership roles

In the photos you will see groups of 3 or 4 children analysing good examples of writing, highlighting what they like the most and explaining why.

 You will also see shared writing.  

Our 6 cooperative groups wrote a short story or recount about their first day at school pretending they were a frightened five year old on their first day, standing at the doorway of their new classroom.

Below is the short story that was nominated as the most interesting to read:

We were attempting to use the features we liked in writing we analysed.

My First Day at School

I wobbled to the doorway, I froze.  The children stared at me, some looking excited, some amazed!  The next second, the teacher invited me to a free desk.  I crept forward slowly, scared.  I got asked to stand up the front and introduce myself to the whole class. 
“H-Hello,” I stammered. “My name is D-Daisy.” 

The teacher asked me to come and sit down on the mat.   “Hello class,” the teacher said.  “Today we will be adding numbers to make higher numbers.”  Suddenly, I felf a tap on my shoulder.  It was Poppy, one of the youngest children.  “Would you like to play with me?” 
A sudden burst of comfort shot through me.  “Sure,” I said in a relieved voice.  School was so much fun.
