Martin Luther King Information

Check out the information about Martin Luther King. All this information comes from Isaac C. Hasn't he done a good job of researching? I wonder where he found this information.

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2013!

Happy New Year Room 9! Wow - I can't believe our first school day is over already! I had a great day and I hope you did too!

Just a friendly reminder to bring your togs tomorrow and since it's a wet night it would be a great time to start on your homelearning. If you've forgotten to take your book home I've put the task below so you know what to do.

Home Learning

Given out: Monday 4th February

Due in: Thursday 7th February

Task: I want to know all about YOU! Your home learning task is to write me a letter letting me know who you are! You may present this letter any way you like and you can include anything you want! To help you I have listed some things that you might like to include and I have also written my own letter about myself to give you an example.

Things you might like to include:

• Name and age
• Who is in your family
• Things that you like doing
• What your favourite school subject is/ what your least favourite subject it
• What you did in the holidays
• Photos

Remember those are just some ideas - it's up to you what you put in your letter! I would expect at least half a page of writing as you happen to be an expert on the topic!

I look forward to reading your letters! Remember to hand them in on Thursday morning!

William's Wordle

For home-learning this week William did a Wordle on fireworks. I really like how he has made some words bigger than others. I think this is very effective.

Anna's Gymnastics Photos

Anna sent me through some photos of her time at the gymnastics competition on Monday. Well done to her - she's really showing us her A+ characteristics.

Hamish's Wordle

In our last set of home-learning Hamish used his A+ characteristics and had a go at making a wordle. Hamish's wordle is about sport.

 Let us know what you think! Have you ever made a wordle before?

Lucy's Animal Web

Have a look at this great animal web that Lucy made as part of her home-learning!

Are there any other animals that could fit on Lucy's web? Leave us a comment and let us know.

Georgia L's Snow Day!

I was just looking through my inbox and came across this picture Georgia L sent me a couple of days ago that I had forgotten to put on the blog! (Sorry Georgia!)

Have a look at this great photo of Georgia in the snow.

Georgia G's Snow Fun

Wasn't all that snow we had last week fun?

Check out what Georgia G sent me in - can you guess what she is making?

Photo Home-learning!

As part of home-learning the children needed to send me a favourite photo of theirs via email.

This is the photo that Brooke selected. Maybe she could do a fotobabble on this photo for us sometime?

Let us know if you'd like to hear more about her puppy Costa in a fotobabble.
