Marble painting.

During Language Experience today we created marble paintings to develop our understanding of gravity.. The children had a great time with the paint.. These will make a fabulous addition to their learning journals. 

New ways of learning with iPads

IToday was a fantastic day in Room Five. Using our new knowledge of app smashing we tried our hand at completing maths and handwriting using the 'explain everything' app. First the lesson has to be recorded by the teacher, then it has to be stored in Google drive. Once this happens the children retrieve the lesson from Google drive and open it in explain everything. They are then free to complete the lesson. Although it was our first attempt it went very well. Even the children seem to be impressed with how much they are able to do. Keep it up Room Five. 

Let's move it...

I This term our inquiry is taking us through a journey involving forces and energy. We began by flying a 'whirly bird' to visualise push and pull forces - the children describe gravity as an invisible hand pulling objects to the ground!! 

Fun with Cris Fortune

We had a great time last week with Cris Fortune. He taught us all about healthy eating and made some wonderful spinach and apple crepes. These were more popular with some than others!
