The 100th post!

This is the 100th post on our blog!  What a milestone :)

This week Miss Bolton was away at her second MST training course.  Mrs Tate has been in Room 8.

Leave a comment about something you have done with Mrs Tate this week!

Road Safety Week

This week is Road Safety week.  Today Room 8 brainstormed all the different ways that we knew to stay safe when we were passengers in cars.  We used an online mind-map programme to list our ideas.

If we have missed any ideas, comment and let us know!

(Hint: if you click on the little blue monster on the right-hand side, you can see the mind map in full screen.)

Reading tips and tricks

The Fraggle Rock reading group came across some tricky words in their book last week.  Miss Bolton was teaching them a rule, where if two vowels are next to each other the first vowel says its name and the second vowel is silent.

We looked at some different examples, like pain, meat, and each.  Then we watched a clip from Youtube called "Two vowels go walking".

Can you think of any other words that fit this rule?  Comment if you can!

Building update - 14 May

The builder's have been busy this week. They have started working on the teacher's resource room and staffroom. Here are some photos of what is happening.

A door has been added to the corridor. The empty doorway you can see is the photocopy room.

This is now the long teacher's corridor!

This is where Mrs Stacey used to take the lunch orders.  

Here is the staffroom!  No wonder the teachers are now using the library as their staffroom now.

MST group

We have been busy learning in our MST group.  At the moment we are learning about multiplication.  Here is a photo and a fotobabble to show you what we've been doing.
