Life Education Classroom learning!

Over the last week Room 2 have had 3 hour long lessons with Maria in the Life Education classroom.

Here are some photos to show you how interactive and interesting the lessons were.

  

It would be nice to have a look through these with your child and ask them about the things that were happening in each photo.

There were some very interesting and worth while discussions happening throughout the lessons and some healthy discussions to go alongside activities.

Colour mixing phase two.

After we had worked through having some fun mixing colours on our own we looked at two primary colours and mixing these to just make one secondary colour.  

We used a beetle outline to show primary colours on the outside wings and a secondary colour on the inner body.

This was a bit tricky for some children but most of them identified that they had made mistakes themselves and this was a great learning point for them.  

Here are our artists hard at work!

Budding Artists

Room 2 started Art for the term looking at primary colours, red, yellow and blue.  

From there we looked at how to mix primary colours to make secondary colours.

Here are the children hard at work practicing colour mixing.  

If you get a chance ask one or two of them about 

how we make certain colours or 

what we get if we mix colours together.

I will share our next steps with you in the coming weeks.  

Room 2 Goals

We spent some time in the first week of school setting some personal goals for the term.  

1 learning, 1 social and 1 behaviour goal each.

It was great seeing what the children wanted to achieve this term and having them displayed on the wall means we can refer back to them often.

Please pop in and see them if you haven't already!

WELCOME TO ROOM 2!

Term Three Activator 

We are lucky to be able to work alongside Youth Town again this term.

We had our first session on Friday morning and despite the cold wind, the children had a ball! 

 They were learning all about SPEED and AGILITY.  

Sun Catchers

What fun we had making our rainbow sun catchers.  First we cut out different coloured cellophane shapes.  Then we put our shapes inside a black paper circle.  Once we had done this we put it all through the laminating machine...  this turned our pages into plastic.

We have really enjoyed watching the rainbows shine through our pictures since we put them up on the window!  We hope you have enjoyed them too!
