Thoughts for today - 21.02.11

Finlay - I liked doing the MI test - the only thing that wasn't good was that my password wouldn't let me go back in and let me get my graph.

Ben - good morning tea and lunch.

Harry - The cicada finding was fun. I whacked it with a stick to get it down to get a close up photo - can you see it below

Reflective questions around the Aquatic Centre Swimming Lessons! We go every Thursday at the moment.

In groups the children in room 11 came up with these questions to ask each other about our swimming lessons at the Aquatic Centre. They had to try not to ask questions that would give yes/no answers.

We came up with these reflective questions to ask others after swimming sessions at the aquatic centre.

What did you find worthwhile at the aquatic centre?

Was it fun?

How long were you there for?

What did you find boring?

In what ways did your swimming lesson help improve your swimming skills?

What did you think of the teachers?

Next time what do you think you need to work on to help your swimming improve?

What did you learn?

Did you learn anything new?

Did you have a new experience? What was it?

Where did you have your lesson?

What did you do in your free time?

What didn’t you like? Why?

What were some of the activities you did?

What strokes were you working on in your lesson? What did you practise?

Tell me the things you were working on today and why they are important?
In what areas did you improve today?

What did you find fun at the Aquatic centre?

The start of an animoto to show our learning and FUN times at the Aquatic Centr

Room 11 is getting an ActivBoard

I wonder if the room 11 children are feeling excited? I am and a little nervous - there will be a lot of new learning for us!! It might look like the below picture.

Hi This is my first entry onto what I hope will become the Room 11 2011 blog.

I really enjoyed our first day today. The students are great. I think everyone went home feeling positive about their 2011 class.

Making icecream sundaes seemed to put a smile onto everyones face. The purpose of this activity was to get us thinking about how we can all make 2011 tasty. What flavours will make the year tasty for the room 11 students?

7.02.11 Hi all - just put this photo on. I still can't work out why I can't upload photos using Animoto on this computer - I'll have a go using a class computer tomorrow at school. Thanks for another great DAY!!

12.02.11
Hi all I can upload class photos from the class photos but not from my mac computer - must be a strange setting somewhere that needs changing! I'll let you know when I get it sorted. In the meantime I want to teach room 11 how to use animota so they can make slideshows around our learning activities. Some of you might already do this at home?/
