W.A.L.T use a digital camera and its functions.
When we have taken our photos, we need to create a file and upload our photos onto the computer.
Here is some of our awesome work :)

Big Day Out

2010-10-14T16:22:00.000-07:00

I liked the part where we were playing soccer. I was the Captain.
We got to wear yellow shirts and the other team were in their normal clothes.
My team almost won!!

By Taylor

Playing egg and spoon was my favourite part. I liked it because it was fun to play.
We had to balance the egg on a spoon.

By Tyrese

I liked the dancing at the start. We did new Jump Jam songs.
We got to jump a lot.

By Kyle

We got to do Tug-O-War! We nearly won.
It was quite hard because I had slippery shoes on.

Sketching

2010-06-16T21:51:00.000-07:00

We are learning how to sketch. Before we got started, we spent a lot of time learning what sketching is and how it is done.

2010-06-16T21:20:00.000-07:00

We used our Flip Camera to record some of our reading groups. We wanted to share the thinking that goes on in our groups.
Every day we have our reading groups. We sit at the teaching table ready and waiting. We first talk about what we think the book might be about. 1 of the things we are learning to do is predict as well as using our phonics knowledge.

***Having some trouble uploading the videos...please watch this space it'll be here soon! :)

2010-06-16T21:14:00.000-07:00

We got up and close with a giraffe! We could almost touch him...if we were allowed :) Have a look at our video...

2010-06-16T02:57:00.000-07:00

The Zoo trip was an amazing experience for all of us. We had never seen those animals in real life before. It was great to actually see the animals that we have been learning about.
We couldn't believe how tall the giraffe was, that a tiger's roar was so loud or that Sun Bears are the smallest bear.
We also found out that some animals like being awake when we are and others like to be awake when we are asleep. They are nocturnal animals like bats!
We found out that some animals only eat meat and others only eat things like grass, fruit and leaves.

Farm Visit

2010-05-11T20:26:00.000-07:00

What an exciting day! We had farm animals come to our school. As part of our inquiry unit we are looking at differnt types of animals. We learnt all about what baby animals are called, for example, we know that a baby cow is called a calf!

We got to see goats, sheep, ducks and even a Ginny pig today!

It was really special because some of us have never touched a sheep or a goat before.

We got to smell the sheep...it smelt funny!

Wheels Day

2010-03-31T18:24:00.000-07:00

We had the most exciting lunch time! Today we were allowed to bring our wheels to school. We brought scooters, bikes, roller blades and skateboards. There was even spot prizes for us. We had so much fun. Some of the older kids help us and taught us new tricks.

Jump Jam

2010-03-25T16:40:00.000-07:00

We love Jump Jam! Jump Jam is part of our fitness programme that we do everyday. It is a mix of songs that have particular dance moves that we do. We thought we would share one of our favourite songs with you! It is called...Witch Doctor

Using Photo Filtre

2010-03-23T17:11:00.001-07:00

I created this tree picture using Photo FIltre. You are going to have a go at drawing your own tree using Photo Filtre too!

Buddy Class - Buddy Tracing

2010-03-23T16:50:00.000-07:00

Just for something different..our buddy class decided that they would trace around us with chalk. After they traced us we got to decorate our outlines. We had a lot of fun!

Trip to Memorial Park

2010-03-09T15:57:00.000-08:00

Rainbow Patch children had a lot to talk about after our special trip to Memorial Park. As part of our discovery time Rainbow Patch went exploring at Memorial Park. We got to swim, play games and play on the playground.
We even got to feed a lot of hungry ducks!
It was an awesome experience and we all had such a lot of fun!

Keeping Ourselves Safe with Constable Filbee

2010-03-07T17:19:00.000-08:00

Keeping Ourselves Safe

Constable Filbee came to visit us in the Rainbow Patch. He read us a book about secrets, good secrets and bad secrets. We learned how to keep ourselves safe and that not all secrets are good.

Here is a photo of Jared and Constable Filbee talking about uniforms.

Room 14 really enjoyed listening to the story and sharing our ideas about it with Constable Filbee.

Buddy Class with Room 13

2010-02-28T23:19:00.000-08:00

We love buddy class! Today we spent the afternoon developing our large ball skills. Our year 5/6 buddies showed us how to successfully bounce, catch and pass a ball. Some of us already knew how to do this, so it was great practice.

The purpose of buddy class is to work with another student and learn and teach them new things. So far we have learned how to introduce ourselves to other students and draw portraits using chalk.

Have a look at some of the photos Ms. Revesz took today of us in action.

I wonder what we will do next with our buddy class?

A Balloon Journey!

2010-02-24T22:31:00.001-08:00

Our first day back at school and what an exciting day! Every student at Roslyn School wrote a wish on a piece of paper and then we all went to the field to release the balloons with our wishes attached to them. Some balloons went very far, and some students even got a response.

What did Room 14 like about the day?

Going to the office to get our balloon
Writing a wish that is very important to us
Going to the field as a school
Counting down to 0 and releasing the balloons
Watching the balloons fly high up into the sky!

Here is a link to a newpaper article about our school:
