Room12sBlog2008

Mr Bloggy has had a bath and is now sporting his new trousers.  He’s looking forward to being back in class in the next couple of days. 

I have had a very nasty virus that has knocked me off my feet a bit.  I am having another day off to give the new medication a chance to work, so I won’t be in until Tuesday. 

I am not very happy about this but it just has to be.  I will send in work via email to Wendy to pass on to the relieving teacher.  In the mean time you can be working on your narrative plans and getting the art boards ready for painting.  If anyone has time, you could take the old hessian off the large boards and paint the boards black.

Book Fortnight

You need to think about getting yourselves into teams for the Book Olympics.  Michelle wants teams of 3-4 and only up to 5 if someone is going to be left out.  Remember you will have a much better chance of doing well if you have a mixed girls and boys team.  That way you will be covered for both boys and girls books.  The book parade is on Friday so start thinking about your character.  Stu Duvall is coming again this year.  He is always great value and I love the way he does the art work on the spot.

Homework

I have enjoyed reading your Science Fair reflection on your blogs.  I f you haven’t posted yours on your blog - it would be great if you did because I could read them at home.  If you don’t want to I will read them at the end of the week when you bring your homework book in.

Week 7’s Homework

The usual reading, basic facts and spelling.  Take your spelling from your draft books.  If you have no errors, use some interest words.  Make sure you use words that will challenge you, but that you would actually use!

This week’s special activity

Design and make a poster that encourages children to read.  The poster should be at least A3 in size.  If you need card, ask the relieving teacher or wait until I am in on Tuesday.  The poster is due on Friday and can be entered into the poster competition for Book Fortnight!

Here’s what to do:

Make an eye catching  poster that has a clear message about the benefits of reading.   Really THINK about why reading is so important for learning.

Include a message that will attract the attention of passers by. 

Use paint, crayon, pencil or any other media to create your poster.  You could use a collage of photographs or pictures from magazines perhaps.

Bring it to school on Friday.  We will choose about 4 that we enter into the poster competition.
