Room 1's Rolly Express Learner

Our Tree

We are learning to observe the environment around us.  We used our senses to describe the tree in our classroom.

The children's observation of sight, smell, touch, hearing were recorded.  We then chose the most interesting words to create a poem about our tree.

Our Tree

Droopy leaves fall down dying

Leaves smell like rubbish bins

Hard, spiky, gummy trunk.

Shaking leaves sound like rain.

Crunch!

 

Estimating

Our estimation challenge this week was "how many yoghurt containers did we use during a week".

The children's guesses were mostly from 100 as last week's challenge had 107 steps.   We sorted then into groups of 10 to make them easier to count.

 
We discovered that there were 42 yoghurt containers in the box.

Pattern Making

We are learning about patterns - the children were challenged to make 2 and 3 part patterns using equipment around the room.

Photos and movies with iPads.

This week we learned how to take photos and make movies with the iPads.  During our time in the sensory room the children used the iPads to discuss the characteristics of a material they chose.

Welcome

Welcome to our Blog for the 2015 year.  Here you will be able to see some of the activities, ideas and thinking undertaken by the children.  

We have a page for newsletters, important dates, circle time, see think and wonder, homelearning.  On these pages you will be able to join in with the children in their learning by adding your ideas about what you see, think or wonder.  

The children love to read comments about their work, so if you view our blog please leave a comment.  If you give our blog address to your extended family they will be able to see what the children have been doing too.
