Congratulations to Tayla, Emily and Kacey who were selected to represent Room 18 in the Year 3 & 4 Poetry Competition. Runner-ups were Aoife and Ruby.

First place went to Sophie in Room 17, second place to Rory in Room 16 and we were all excited when Tayla was awarded third place. Aoife, Charlotte, Cooper and Erin also presented the poems they wrote earlier this term. Check out the videos of our poets below.

Term 1 Week 7 Assembly

Thank you to Room 17 for hosting the Year 3 assembly on Friday. We are very keen to learn the new songs you taught us and there was lots of humming and singing as we made our way back to class.

Congratulations to Room 17 who won the Heather Trophy for the tidiest cloakroom. We are determined to win it next time. We will need to make sure that everything is hanging on the hooks, all the time, and there is no rubbish lying about. Remember to zip up your bag so stuff doesn't get accidentally knocked out of your bag onto the floor.

Well done Reza. Aoife and Jonty who received certificates at assembly for great work and a terrific attitude towards their learning. Keep up the wonderful work.

Term 1, Week 5 Highlights

It has been another busy week in Room 18. Our writing frames are finished and showcase our great senses poems from Aquagym. Come and check them out.

On Wednesday we hosted the Year 3 assembly were we shared some of our published writing. Congratulations to Henry T, Tayla and Angel who received certificates and to Room 17 who were awarded the Heather Trophy for the tidiest cloakroom.

This week we been working on our Tagxedo art. Once we have brainstormed our words, we are teaching each other how to use this great programme. Here are some of the finished tagxedos now on display in the classroom. See if you can work out who the author/artist is from the words, colour and shapes chosen.












If you want to try some of these at home go to http://www.tagxedo.com/ You may need to download a programme called Silverlight - but just follow the instructions. I think these could be turned into great mouse mats or mugs for presents!

The News Reporters shared some special items with us on Friday. Finn brought in a remote controlled tarantula which caused quite a stir.





On Friday, Room 18 made musical instruments out of recycled 'junk'. What an amazing range of sounds you could make. Aoife, Charlotte, Jesse Kacey and Tayla formed a band and gave an impromptu performance. Click on the image to hear the music and keep an eye out for their debut album!
