Pictures made out of shapes

As part of our maths rotation yesterday some of the children had a chance to work with different shapes.  They named the shapes they used and made pictures with them.  Have a look below to see what great imaginations our students have.  There is a robot (Blake), a dog (Vincent), a rescue helicopter (Thomas) and a stable for a horse (Xanthe).  Well done!

More writing on Kid Pix

We've had another go with publishing students writing with the Kid Pix computer program.  Have a look at our amazing writing.  Well done Room 7.  You are all so talented :)

Room 7 Writing with Kidpix

On Friday, Room 7 students used the computer program 'Kidpix' to publish some of their writing.  They drew the pictures, choosing from different backgrounds, stamps, colours, and writing tools and then wrote their sentence.  Their buddies were there to help them if they needed but most of the work, if not all, was done on their own.  Well done to all the students in Room 7.  Your writing looks amazing!

Grouping and Graphing Cats

This week in maths we have been talking about how to put things into groups by looking at how they are similar and how they are different.  We have been reading quite a few Greedy Cat books, so we decided to draw some cats that we know.  We then put them into groups and made them into pictographs.  Have a look at some of the work the Room 7 children have been doing, it's pretty amazing!

Here is a pictograph with all of the cats that the children drew.  See if you can answer all of the questions and write us a comment to see if you're correct.

Ukelele Lessons

Today at Choice and Challenge some children chose to learn to play the ukelele. Some of us have had lots of lessons and some of us played for the first time today. How do we sound?

A 'Jolly Roger' movie made by Josh

Here is a movie that Josh made using Puppet Pals on the ipad. He read from the book 'Jolly Roger and the clever green parrot'. He was the voice for Jolly Roger, the Big Pirate and the Little Pirate. This is the first time he has made a movie like this. Well done Josh!
