Our Classroom

We are very lucky in the Middle Room to have received two new tables to go in our Innovative Learning Environment.
These tables have provided us with plenty of places to work around the classroom and we have already put them to great use!
Thank you very much to Parents Plus for providing us with these awesome tables. We love them!

Our Classroom
The children in the Middle Room have been making lots of comments about how bright and colourful their classroom is looking.  Miss Ward has been putting lots of things up around the room that cover all areas of our learning!

Check out the photos of our class below, the Middle Room is a pretty cool place to be!

Our class!

Inquiry wall and some writing we did to thank our Educator from Otago Museum on our overnight stay this week.

Overnight stay thank you writing.

Wow, look at how bright our classroom is!  We like to show off our learning!

Even the windows are getting covered as Miss Ward is running out of room to put things!

Thank you PicCollages for the parents that came on our overnight stay.  Lovely to see the sun out too!

Innovative Learning Environments
Over the last two Fridays, Miss Ward has set us tasks over a certain amount of time that we have to complete.  This means we can pick and choose when we do the work as long as we are balancing our time, to ensure we are getting all the work done.  The tasks we have had to do are maths, reading and writing work.  All tasks are related to what we are learning about in class.  Some of us have been really good at managing our time to get our work done and some people have had to have Miss Ward reminding them to manage their time.  We love having choice about when we can do our work, it is cool to see people doing different work at the same time.  Miss Ward only lets us choose when we do our work for a certain block of time at the moment, e.g. the first or second morning block.  Miss Ward also pulls out people to work with over this time for reading, maths or writing.  This is part of an Innovative Learning Environment as we are able to choose when we do our work, instead of being told (well most of us can!).

Here are some photos of us choosing when we get our work done:

Innovative Learning Environments
We are very lucky in the Middle Room to have received some donated furniture from a lady named Sandra.  She donated us a couch and two arm chairs to use in our Innovative Learning Environment.  Thank you very much Sandra!  We love our new furniture and have been very good at sharing it with each other.  We love having new places to complete our work on!

Here are some photos of us with our new furniture:

Working hard!
