Around the Classroom

Here are a variety of photos from around our classroom. Our classroom is a
reflection of both the learning we have achieved and where we are going. Enjoy!

We are exploring using adjectives and adverbs in our writing to make our writing more descriptive. Here we have put our learning into action with our "And then the rain fell ..." poems.

An Ebon original.

Esther earned the Learner of the Week award at our first assembly this year with this poem.

Our inquiry topic is movement and water. We brainstormed our prior knowledge, then developed questions based on what we were interested in exploring.

We are exploring statistics this term. Here we organised our birthday data into a Stem and Leaf graph. No one in December!

More poems, this time "I am ..." poems that we used to express who we are and develop our skills in relating to others.

Josh's skilful hand!

Zak has been pondering the universe.

We keep a chart where we can "sign-off" a timestable if we can answer 25 questions about it in 1 minute and 15 seconds. That's 3 seconds per question.

We have been using graphic organisers to sort information we have researched. We chose our best work to be examples and put up our quotes on what each organiser is for.

We warped our faces in Photobooth and now people can try and guess who each photo is of. Clue: Mr Hamilton is the one with the beard!

We discussed the Onerahi School Beacons and wrote down with a partner what we thought they would look like in our classroom.

During a wet lunch in Room 3 you may just be lucky enough to see some card masters designing their next masterpiece.
