We have moved....
Our old classroom at reading time....
Our new studio at reading time...
Thoughts about our new space...
Our new classroom is not a classroom, it is a studio. Our
studio is more colourful than our other classroom. I like the furniture and my
favourite furniture is the cookie pads. We have a
lot of rooms in our studio.
Nathan
We have moved in with Room 8. We now have a bigger writing corner so Room 8 can write as well. I like
being in our new studio because it is more exciting than our old classroom.
Melissa
Hooray, hooray, we’ve moved to the new school. In the new
school we have this chart, a self-directed learner chart. A self-directed learner is a person who does
things by themselves and who is independent.
You don’t want to be a teacher-directed learner because you have to
follow the teacher and go in certain spots. The studio is colourful.
Charlotte
The new school is as colourful as a rainbow. The couches in
B2 are blue and green. We share space with all B1 and B2. Our chairs are much
better than our old room 10 chairs. When we were in our old room 10 the
chairs were horrible because they always use to fall down when people sat on
them. Our new school is always perfect. Well almost perfect.
Caitlin
Room 10 has shifted to B2. It has big couches. I like the
kneeling tables best. Next I like the cookie pads. They are only for sitting on. Fourth,
I like the flower table. Fifth, I like the standing table. It is really
different because the colours are lighter.
By Zara
In B2 we have made some new rules. Use walking feet inside. In B2 we use inside voices and keep
our hands to ourselves. Do not stand on the cookie pads and you can move the couches. No climbing on the tables. We don’t run inside B2. You should not
go in the teachers room.
By Eddie
Our new learning space has a lot more colours than our old
room 10. It has bright and colourful furniture. We share the space with room 8.
We have new rules. They are use walking feet, sit on the cookie pads, say nice
things to each other, use an inside voice, put things away and keep our hands
to ourself. Our old room had no colours.

A moment in time
I heard the gun go bang. All of the runners started at the same time. I heard the crowd screaming. I saw flags waving. Some of the runners were really fast and some were slow. I saw feet zooming and racers arms pumping.

Measuring
Last week, in awesome Room 10, we were learning all about measurement. We all got an enormous piece of paper. We found a buddy. My buddy was Matthew. We all had to draw around each other by taking turns.First I drew around Matthew then he drew around me. We measured each other with pink rods. The next day we measured our ankles and wrists. We learnt what parts of our bodies are longer than other parts of our body. My ankle was longer than my wrist.
By Charlotte
For our maths topic we were learning about measurement. We figured out that our hands were smaller than our feet. Next we tied a piece of string around our head and then a piece of string around our ankle. The piece of string around our head was bigger than the piece of string around our ankle. We also measured how tall we were. We learnt when you measure two different things, the things that you use to measure need to be the same size.

We used string to measure how tall we are. |
We compared our heights using the string. |
We checked to see if the length of our hand was longer than our foot. |
We discovered lots of measuring words:
