Matilda in Term 4: Drama Focus!

In Room 9 over Term 3 we have been reading the book 'Matilda' by Roald Dahl and focused on 'Character'. This Term I decided to introduce some Drama into the classroom. We have acted as characters in role, re-enacted parts of the story in groups, and created our own 'freeze frame image' of a part of a chapter. Here are some of the freeze frame images from the start of the Term.








Last Friday was Mufti Day at Stanley Ave. We dressed up as something we wished to be and all proceeds from gold coin donations went to the Make a Wish Foundation. Check out our awesome outfits!



Maths Rotation

Room 7 have started doing a Maths Rotation on Thursday's and Friday's. They are enjoying rotating around the various activities which include making patterns, geometry, maths games, maths number apps, follow-up sheets and more. This gives Miss Roycroft closer learning time with smaller groups and a chance for learners to learn a range of maths skills in shorter bursts!





Term 3 DISCO

Here are some photos of Room 7 children from the School Disco!

Patterns in Room 5

This week we blew Miss Roycroft's socks off with our pattern knowledge. Take a look at our bold, bright patterns!




Hunting for Dragons - Room 7

Last Week Room 7 Read a lovely story called Hunting for Dragons by Bruce Whatley. They then designed their own unique dragons and gave them unique names. Come to the classroom and have a look!

Vincent Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers'

I have shared a story called 'Katie and the Sunflowers' with Rooms 7, 8 & 9. Since then they have all been working really hard on creating a piece of art based on Vincent Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers'. Here are some pictures of Room 9s process.










Here are Room 8s amazing works of art on display in the Room 7 and 8 cloak bay! Don't they look spectacular.
