Week 8 Term 3

Welcome to Ryan....perhaps our last entry for 2012 in room 16!

17 children in our busy classroom 

We wrote about Taine's special necklace and my special brooch. The children then thought of something special in their lives and wrote a story about them....Kyan brought in a picture of his old car which was special to him.

 This is a polymer which started off very small and then we added water ....they all grew slippery and squashy and slimy to the touch!....I wonder if they will reduce in size without the water over the weekend.Take a look on my desk next time you are in and the children will show you their polymer bead.

 The cube kept it's shape as did the spheres.

More later in the week.

Mediators in our school solve playground problems by using four key strategies: 

1. agree to solve the problem
2. no interrupting
3. be as honest as you can
4. no name calling

Check out the 2012 mediator group who came to our class on Monday.
