SODA Thursday 16 February

Every morning we do a SODA activity. SODA stands for Start Of Day Activity and is based on Tony Ryan's Thinker's Keys. Today we had to create a machine to capture a cat using a marble, rubber band, and a kite. Here are our creations.

Back into the swing of things

School has started again and we've been working hard over the last two weeks. Here are some pictures to show you some of the work we've been doing.


Back at school on PhotoPeach

End of the year

We've had a great year in Room 12 - we've learned lots of different things and become very savvy using lots of different technology. We've had visiting teachers and Skype interviews with authors and connected with schools far away.

Ms Fothergill is teaching in Room 10 next year (hence the name change for the blog) and is looking forward to working with a whole new group of students.

All the best everyone for 2012.
