Weaving

Today we did some weaving with colour paper. It was a bit tricky at the start but once we got the strategy of going under and over and under and over we got there in the end.
Check out the photos from today.

23rd of November

Here are some photos of what we did today in class.
You can see the play that's happening in Room 1. There were opportunities for students to incorporate their writing and reading skills into their play.
You can also see how in Room 1 we help each other out with the Tricky words in our Buddy Reading Time.

Print Making

This week we've been making prints in class with foam.
First we had to sketch what our prints will look like. Then we created our prints on the foam by making marks on it with a pencil. After Miss Liu showed us how to print using the rolling pin and the ink we had a go ourselves. We did two prints on white paper using the yellow ink. Once it was dried (overnight) we did another two prints with blue ink - one on orange paper (because blue and orange are complimentary colours) and one on top of our yellow print.
Here are the photos that Miss Liu managed to take.

21st November

What an awesome day we had today.
All the children in Room 1 loves their play. Today we had a big doll house that the children constructed together. We also had a few super heroes flying around creating lego things. We also had a family in the classroom.
Outside the classroom, in our Creative Construction Area the children in the junior school have created 'The Base'. It has secret doors and furniture. Everyone who wants to be living in the base gets a job (e.g., dusting, cooking, looking out for bad guys with binoculars, cleaning...etc the list goes on).
Here are some of the photos I manage to take today.

Making Patterns

Last Wednesday we talked about patterns in Room 1. Here are some of the patterns that we made with the materials that we found around the classroom. Check out our patterns!

Buddy Reading

In the last couple of weeks we started having a buddy reading session where Miss Liu assigns every student to a buddy to read to and to listen.

The students in Room 1 have really enjoyed it and are becoming really good at helping each other out when they are stuck on a word.

Here are some photos from our buddy reading sessions
