"Sticky Noting" what we hope to learn for Bike Week

Wallwisher now called Padlet is a bulletin board type programme that operates in real time i.e you see the changes as they happen. Children can add sticky notes with questions or sticky notes with information and website links for others to read. Very useful when brainstorming as I am able to put the bulletin board up on our class smartboard while the children are adding their notes and links. Did we get silly notes on the board for all to see? Yes definitely - the beauty of exploring and having fun with a new programme!

Catapult captured in action

Some edited footage (taken by Daniel and Aidan) of the catapult in action AND a little more about the workings of the catapult explained...

The Catapult by Daniel and Aidan

Daniel and Aidan have put together a poster on the Catapult they built along with two boys from Room 23 and with Mr Cavanah's expertise and know-how.  We're thinking it might be great for launching water balloons for our end of year "let go" celebrations!  

More Science Fair Poems

Here's what Anna and Brenna have to share.

The video is finished!  Hurray!  We love using iMovie - it's so easy.

Our Calendar Art

It's that time of year where you can order your child's calendar art to adorn that home or office wall space and especially at Grandma & Grandpa's place.   You can view samples of actual printed work, in the school office before ordering.

Under the lovely guidance of Mrs Lynch, the children sketched daffodils in pencil and pastel and penned poems to accompany the artwork.  Then myself (Mrs Bell) assisted the children to put their handiwork together.  Here is the result.  Please note the children had a choice of photo backgrounds, border or no border and a choice of a few different fonts - so there is slight variation.  What we love about these is how the sketches appear to be growing tall out of the background.  We hope you like!
