We had a great day at MOTAT today.  We braved the cold!!!!!😃.  We learnt how they used to Reuse, Recycle and Renew in the Victorian Times.  We also looked at products that can be reused and recycled currently.  Have fun browsing through the photos.

Working with our Device

Just thought that I would post some pictures of the kids working with the devices. We are so lucky to have 8 Chromebooks permanently in the class. With I Pads and desktops too we are well equiped for our learning. The information that they need is right there at hand. There is so much more learning that takes place within each lesson. The MLE is also a great space for them to to choose to go and work quietly and independently in. I am absolutely loving Room 22 and the children. They are all amazing individuals and have come along so far already this year. I can honestly say that I love going to work!!!

Netball Stars

Was at the courts today and managed to catch the Western Heights girls play netball today! They played a very strong game with excellent sportsmanship. I was a very proud teacher!

ANZAC INQUIRY

Today is Room 22, we did a small Inquiry on Anzac Day. We learnt about what ANZAC Day stands for. We looked at images of the War. We researched information on our device. We listened to an ANZAC song. I shared with the children a small study on Lloyd Trigg, who was awarded the Victoria Cross for bravery. The Highest medal of Honour. This man is close to my heart as he is my Grandfathers cousin. We then did a culminating task of choosing adjectives to go inside a poppy. Adjectives to describe the ANZAC soldiers. We also analysed the Poem- Lest we Forget and glued it behind our Poppies. Finally I read the children a story about the animals at war. In particular Perilous Jack one and two! Here are the finished poppies
