Class pets

Room 3 has 4 class pets. Their names are Blues, Max, Chezzle,and J.T, and they are from “Where the wild things are”. They are puppets and are fun to play with. Every week someone gets to take one home, this is decided by a shaker box. We have to take photos of their adventures.

Learning is!

Today we worked in groups to brainstorm our ideas about what learning is.

What do you think learning is?

Please share your thoughts and ideas, we are very interested.

These are some of our ideas:

Learning is combining with others.

Learning is using your senses.

Learning is thinking with other people or by yourself to get more knowledge.

Learning is using your brain and things you know and combining your ideas with other persons ideas.

Learning is finding out more facts.

Learning is perseverance.

Learning is combining lots of ideas to learn something new.

Aileen and Me - Keywords

We have been learning how to identify keywords that help summarise the main points and ideas of our text.

This word picture was created in Wordle. Can you identify the keywords of this story. Maybe you could predict what the story is about. Have fun!

Painted Movies

We have created movies of our stories using Microsoft Paint to illustrate them, Easi Speak microphones to record our voice and Windows Live Movie Maker to put them together into a movie.

These programs are simple to use and as we create them it doesn't put any pressure on our schools wireless network which is a complete nightmare for most things. Ms Matthews uploads them at home.

Our reflections of our achievement has helped us to think creatively about timing of our pictures and fluency and expression with our voice. We hope you enjoy them as much as we have enjoyed making them.

Here are two from John and Corien. The others will be posted onto our kidblogs (link at the side).

Please leave us a comment and let us know where you are from so we can visit you. Regularly we visit blogs and start a learning conversation.

Writing Awesome Blog Comments

We have been reflecting on comments that have been written on our blogs and other school's blogs. From this we have explored many ideas from other schools and looked at Comments for kids to write our own success criteria for an 'Awesome Blog Comment'.

We have decided on 6 points for our success criteria:

1. Write your comment including a greeting, content and a closing.

2. Always use correct spelling, punctuation, grammar and spacing.

3. Compliment the writer in a specific way, ask a question or add new information.

4. Write a relevant comment that is related to the post.

5. Do not reveal any personal information about yourself in your comment.

6. Always proof read your comment and edit before submitting.

Remember that people from around the world will be reading what you have written.

Maddy P has been using our criteria to peer assess blog comments before we post. Please have listen to her podcasts. After reflecting on the podcasts we realise that Maddy should have given feedback using the language of our criteria.
Our reasons for doing this is that we value our connections with our global community and want to make many more.


Please don't leave without writing a comment and a link to your blog so we can visit you. Maybe you can add to our criteria.
