iPads - Publishing Covers

Using the iPads

We used the app PicCollage to create our front cover page for our Publishing Folders.

We typed our name and then search for all our favourite things and added images or GIFs. Have a peep at the personalities in Room 14...

Art - Screaming Hair

Excited faces!

Look at our self portraits! 

We used pastels and dye and gave ourselves crazy fun hair! Our expressions show we are excited for school. To make the hair we blew drops of dye through a straw to squiggle across the page.

It was hard work with lots of huffing and puffing...

but it was fun. We laughed out loud at the pictures.

Class Treaty

Room H14's Class Treaty

As a class we have discussed our school RRAP (Responsibility Respect Attitude Pride) values as well as our classroom rules.

We decided to make a Class TREE-ty and we each signed it with our handprint!

Sketching - Natural Treasures

Sketching

We have been practising our sketching with special art pencils. This week we having been sketching 'natural treasures' such as feathers, pine cones, shells, stones, driftwood etc. Afterwards we stick it in our writing books and then we write about them, describing our treasure in detail and even creating a poem.

Look how well we can sketch...

Library - Books!

Newly Painted Library!

In the school holidays the school library was painted. Together with the new furniture last year, our library is a great place to visit! We go every Monday, so please be sure to return library books by Friday.

Here are some photos of the newly painted outside, and Room 14 reading books inside.

Maths - Problem Solving

Counting Cubes

We jumped into our learning with some problem solving in Maths. We got to work collaboratively with our friends in mixed ability groups.  

Rich discussions, knowing our 'skip counting' in 2s, 3s and 5s and using materials helped us solve the problem!
