Calendar Art

Rooms 16 and 17 have begun to collaborate more with their learning as St Mary's begins to move towards bigger collaborative learning environments opposed to single cell classrooms. One of the recent collaborations was last Friday when we did our calendar art together, the children were given a choice of four different designs. See the presentation below.

Quick Writing Plan - Stories

The children and I have been collaboratively planning and writing stories in Room 16 using Mr. Bach's Quick Plan model. See example below.

Below are some modelling flipbook entries with problems and their solutions using increasingly more complex maths skills. Simple solutions are stage 4 and more advanced ones stage 5 or 6.
