Wonderful Room 4
No bias, but apparently Room 4 is the best looking class in the school. Here are some pics of the new upgrade. With "Wonderful Words" being the topic this term, Dr Seuss seemed liked the logical man for the job.
Our "Wonderful Word Wall" which will enable the children to find synonyms (words of a similar meaning) to help them with their writing. This will be constantly on the change as we move through the term.
We also have a "Word Tree" where children can bring new words they have learned and add them with a definition to the tree. The children already have a real excitement for this and please use this enthusiasm as an opportunity to explore the joy of words/language with them. This tree is for all languages so if you have a culture that is a part of your family, please discuss words that are significant to you and your family with your child and encourage them to add them to the tree.
Tom got the prize for the first word on the tree -
Jetsam - discarded material washed ashore.
Well done Tom! Keep them coming kids!
All the members of Room 4 have been released into an amazing learning environment. A "school" within a school. 2014 is going to be an amazing and exciting year of learning.
Albino - A person or animal lacking pigmentation, usually white haired with pink or blue eyes.
