Apollo 11 Revisited Part One

As promised, here is the first of two movies about the Space paintings. Children wrote their voiceover using deBono's Thinking Hats. They thought about the experience of the astronauts and their experience as a painter.

Some Super Spring Writing: Part four

Spring has sprung, so Room 16 went off to find signs of Spring outside. They found three types of flowers - blossoms, daffodils and tulips as red as roses. At the field they saw very light green grass growing through the patches of silt. At the oak tree they heard birds chirping while they were making their nests. Room 16 went back to class.

Spectacular Spring has sprung at St Albans School. Yesterday Room Sixteen went walking to search for the super signs of Spring. Magnificent birds were chirping like the wind howling while they worked. The kowhai blossom looks like baby bananas growing magnificently small. The sun shines to warm the flowers and the animals and their homes. 

Room Sixteen felt excited.

Spring has sprung at last at St Albans School. Room Sixteen was going on a walk to find some sights of Spring. Lots of people were playing cricket on the courts with the Milo Cricket Club. Birds were making nests for eggs and babies. Kowhai trees are sprouting well in Spring now. Room Sixteen was excited to see lots of spring sights.

Spring has sprung so no more ugly winter in St Albans School. Room Sixteen went outside to look for super signs of Spring yesterday. The daffodils are out and beautiful. Yesterday you could hear and see cricket (lots of kids were cheering). Tulips are as red as rubies. The jonquils are out and beautiful. Busy birds were chirping wildly. They were building nests for their eggs. There are little baby leaf buds on the trees. The bushes are very green and smell very good. Everyone in Room 16 felt cheered up and excited on a spring day.

Making new friends. I made a new friend called Jayda. She’s in a different classroom to me.
Writing because sometimes we get to choose what we want to write about.
Reading, because I like doing research.
Jaeda

The highlight of Term One for me was making the cars.
We used fabric and lids and other sorts of things. First you had to draw a truck or a car. Then you had to choose some material or coloured paper. You had to cut the material or paper into the right shape and then stick them on some paper. Next you could stick buttons onto make it look cool.
I liked making the cars because I thought it was creative and fun.
