Week 2 Update

Room 15 have been learning the ropes of their blogs.

Each week they can share their reading and writing tasks with others in the class.  Check on the side bar to see who is the latest person to update their blog with fantastic writing.

Week 2 Update - 

• Miss B is getting used to the ways of May Road School.  She thinks that Room 15 are pretty amazing although slightly chatty at time.  

• We are meant to be having Wheels Day today but unfortunately it is pouring with rain.  We might have a think about organising a Kauri Team wheels day later in the term so that we can all try out the new track on the field.

• In maths we have been learning about how subtraction is the inverse of addition.  We are practising using our talk moves and only asking questions if we need to.  Hopefully in the next few weeks we will start posting some of our maths working for you all to see our strategies.

• Writing has been focused on War and ANZACS.  We read a cool poem called '10 things in a Wizards Pocket' and then created our own poem based on what would be in a soldier or nurse's pocket.  Check them out on our individual blogs and feel free to give use feedback.

• In reading we have been reading stories about different aspects of war and then retelling the story in our own words.  We have also been learning how to use Google Draw to create diagrams or drawings.  This is a really hard skill because there is no paint tool and you have to layer shapes to create your illustration - we will get better at this throughout the year.  

• Students add a comment below saying one thing that you enjoyed about your learning this week.  Check back for more weekly updates from Room 15.
