Children's Blog Portfolios

Please click on the link Here to access a link to your child's personal blog. The blogs are the children's portfolio and most children should have a large amount of work posted here in different formats. You do not have to wait until the end of the year or for parent interviews to look at samples of your child's digital work from school. You can view the blogs at any time. Please feel free to come and see me if you feel your child does not have a lot of work posted here or if there is incomplete work posted. 

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.

Problem Solving approach to maths

We have been looking at the problem solving approach to maths learning in Room 16 this year, as have many other classes at St Mary's. 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.

Inventions - Concept

We have begun looking at inventions in the Middle School as the second part of our concept learning for the term. The children have really got into it and begun thinking of all the inventions we use around us every day.

Screencastify - Poetry

We are about to commence poetry reading and writing in the Middle School. Here is a screencastify Mr Bach made to show children how to get started writing poetry on Storybird.

Padlet - What is an invention?
