Room 18 have enjoyed an action packed first day of term 3 and we're looking forward to more awesome learning over the next few weeks.
Our Class Site
Mrs Lee introduced us to our new classroom site that we're going to use to support our learning. Parents/caregivers please ask your children to show you the site and what they're using it for - you have to have a Sunnyhills account to access our site so they'll need to sign in to their accounts to show you.
We started the day sharing what we have been doing for the last two weeks while we've been away on holiday. We added our thoughts to a Google form and turned it into a WordItOut. Each of us had to use 3 words to describe our holiday. Here is the WordITOut we created...
Technology Inquiry
We took part in the first stage of our inquiry into inventions and how technology helps us. We had to Get Thinking about what inventions we already know about and find out about more inventions, there are so many great things that people have created that help us. Watch this space for more about our inquiry soon.
Measuring
We also got into some Maths learning today - we investigated measuring with our hands. We drew around our hand print and then cut it out. We used this to measure many things in our classroom. Here are so photos of us measuring.
We reflected on what we noticed while we were using our hands to measure things - Non-standard measurement and why it's important to use standard measurements.
Wow what a busy first day of learning you have had Room 18. I will look forward to coming in and having a look at what you find out about inventions.
ReplyDeleteI can see that people had an active holiday with lots of sport, fun and travel.
Welcome Mrs Lee to 5 wonderful weeks with our learners in Room 18. Your learning site for Room 18 is amazing and this will be really engaging for our learners and a great example for our teaching team to aspire to try! I like what you are noticing Room 18 with your measuring! I look forward to finding out more about your investigations.
