Art and a Mystery..or Two.

Firstly, wow. Check out these paintings. We are still mid-creating. A few children still need to paint. Most of us are up to the touch up stage.  I can’t wait to hang these up. At home : Ask your child who they are painting? Why this  subject is important?

Thanks Charlie for posing in this photo.  Now, I can’t quite tell if these phots are in focus or not. Parents, help me out by commenting on our blog.

Room 6 Nativity Activity

Hello! This is Room 6. Today we did some chrome book learning. We love to learn on chrome books so today we did a Nativity Activity! Phew! What a mouthful. We did this activty with buddies. We were put into pairs where one person was Player A and one person was Player B. Player A had to tell Player B where to put part that eventually made up a picture of a Nativity Scene…

We told our buddie POSITIVE comments like, ” Good work, you are on track!” We told our buddie HELPFUL commnets like “Maybe make that star a little bit bigger.”  We told our buddie THOUGHTFUL comments like, ” It looks like you are leaning how to send images to the back or front just like me- it is new for both of us!”

We hope you enjoyed reading our blog. Could you please comment on our blog because we love to learn more through comments . Also, have YOU done any Nativity Activities yet? PLease tell us all about it.

 

Positive, Thoughtful and Helpful

In Room 6 we have been diving into Science and exploring life cycles. Sharing to learn is an integral part of this process. The children are leaning to give feedback to inspire and motivate using Positive, Thoughtful and Helpful.

An example of Positive might be to say that the poster was neat and coloured in well. Thoughtful might be to suggest more detail- in this case draw the eggs on the edge of the leaf because that is a science fact that we have just learnt. Helpful might be a reminder to use a pencil before coloured pencil because coloured pencil doesn’t rub off well if a mistake is make.

Parents, the challenge is out. Can you use some of this language at home as well? Write a comment below showing how you used Positive, Thoughtful and Helpful.
