In writing, Room 10 have been learning about VERBS and ADVERBS and how they can make our writing more interesting. We have also beginning to look at different painting techniques in art.
So, we created an ABSTRACT ARTWORK by flicking, hurling, throwing, dribbling, dripping paint (VERBS - what we did). Some kids did this carefully, others did it ruthlessly, violently, artistically, slowly or quickly (ADVERBS - how we did it).

Check out the Year Threes working cooperatively to solve problems during World Maths Day. There were 17 hands on problems for the children to explore and figure out in only one hour...Lots of thinking!
Here's a glimpse of the LAST DAY OF TERM 1, 2010 in Room 10. Have a safe and enjoyable holiday kids. See you next Term; ready to get stuck into learning. From Mr. Ray.
In reading and writing we are beginning to find out how stories are written and how they are put together. We found that most authors write their stories using a common structure. (Character, setting, problem, action and outcome).To help us learn how stories are written and structured, Room 10 made freeze frames to recreate the classic myth - How Maui Slowed the Sun. We were trying to make EFFECTIVE and DRAMATIC FREEZE FRAMES, so we though it would be a good idea to:
- Use facial expressions,
- Use large body movements, and...
- Have different heights.
