2016 – Team 3 Sugar Challenge!

Trudi Bertie — Mon, 08 Aug 2016 01:42:40 +0000

Team 3 have been learning about sugar in our food!

We began our project by brainstorming our favourite drinks and reading food labels. We looked at the difference between good sugars and bad sugars. Once we had located all of the sugar content we were able to divide that number by 4 (Approx 4 grams in a teaspoon).

We worked in groups to discuss, measure and calculate the amounts in each item. We learnt a lot and were all surprised with how much sugar is in our drinks!

Room 4 have been working together to think critically. We have been learning to analyse different advertisements, and to think deeper about what information is put in front of us. We have brainstormed and discussed what we think the messages are in the images, and how we feel about them.

The kid’s worked in groups on these projects. They look amazing! They are currently in the foyer, so come in and see them!

2015 – Collaborative learning

Trudi Bertie — Fri, 16 Oct 2015 06:23:25 +0000

On Thursday, when our year 7 and 8′s were at Tech, the year 5 and 6′s went into Room 1 to support the juniors with their writing. We all took our books and wrote about what we do when we have different feelings. It was great to see the Room 1 kids looking at what is expected from the bigger kids. It was a huge ‘proud teacher moment’ to watch my students give support to the younger students of the school, and be proud to support them. They gave great ideas and advice on adding details, as well as writing positive feedback and feedforward! Here are a few photos of the classroom at the time…

Room 4 have been learning about blending colours, and creating positive and negative space. We have focused our calendar art on ‘something from nature’ and have looked at past and present (you may even see some prehistoric creatures in the designs). Feel free to come into the classroom to check out our artwork at anytime.
