Online and classroom learning

Take a look at the amazing art students have created since returning to school. Our classroom is looking more beautiful by the day!

There will be a Google Meet for all of Room 7 on Wednesday at 11.00 - 11.30am. I will email a link to students both at school and those learning from home and we will share some online learning time together.

There will also be two further Google Meets for those students learning from home. They will be on Monday and Thursday at 11am. These meets will be run by Jo Green and Phil Margetts. A link to these meets will also be sent to students' emails.

Term 4 Home Learning Monday, Week 5

Morena Room 7, I am looking forward to seeing many of you back at school on Wednesday! 

Please check out the information below.

Remember if you have any questions about your learning please email me and I will try my best to help.

Term 4 Home Learning Friday, Week 4

 We are going to look at narrative writing today during our meet.

You are going to write a fantasy narrative (that means it is not a true story). 

Your protagonist (hero) is your chosen Bird (or Bat) of the Year.

The setting is your chosen bird’s (or bat’s) natural environment.

Apart from that, your story can be about anything!

Check out the resources below to help you write your narrative.

Remember to try to think of something that would happen in the environment your bird (or bat) lives in.

Term 4 Home Learning Tuesday, Week 4

 We are continuing to think about our native birds but now the focus is on how we can describe them in imaginative and original ways.

What is your favourite descriptive word that could describe a bird?

Welcome back after your long weekend.  I hope you managed to get outside for some fun and sun.  I went on a bike ride and found this beautiful mural that depicts some of our precious native birds. Can you tell where it is?

This week we are finding out more about our native birds (or bats). Take a look at the videos for more information. There are also some lovely images you may want to use in your fact files.
