Writing in Room 23

This morning at writing time I was so proud to look around the room and see all the children focused and engaged with writing independently. Feel proud of your wonderful children.

Amazing Maths

This morning I posed this question

'I have 7 people coming to stay and they each drink 2 litres of milk a day. They will be with me for 1 day. How much milk should I buy?'

Temara stood at the board for about 20 minutes working it out.

I was so impressed. So was Mrs Burrough and Mr Bremer.

Look at all the different ways she worked through  trying to solve the problem.

Good Bye Miss Price

Thank you Miss Price for the 5 weeks of hard work you put into the Learning Journeys of the children in Room 21. We thoroughly enjoyed your teaching and your company.

Here is a photo of the final afternoon story reading session.

Toast and Marmalade- Paddington Bear style

We read the story about Paddington Bear and wondered why Paddington loved toast and marmalade. 
We decided we would try it for ourselves. Delicious! 
Then we wrote about it. Come in and read our stories.
Here are some photos that show how we made the toast, buttered it, added the marmalade and the ate it. 
We worked with a buddy.
Take a quick peak at all the different ways people cut their toast. Beginnings of fraction work happened with no input from Mrs Boyd.
Having to cut the toast in half really made them all very careful about cutting the toast into 2 even pieces...halves!
