Art Visit

By -
Anna left a comment on Room 16's blog asking if Room 14 could come and look at their gorgeous artwork. Room 16 skyped us to invite us to come and visit. So this morning we walked along the deck to visit Room 16. We each had a Room 16 buddy who explained all the different artwork around their room.
Take a look at our vimeo to see the great conversations we had about their artwork.
We really liked how they used different browns in their ducks. The nests looked really effective with the cut up paper.
We also liked how they used paper and newspaper to make their faces.
They did clever things like colouring over a black and white photo of themselves in pastel.
Their artwork had a lot of detail. They also used more than one material to create their artworks.
Thank you for letting us visit you, Room 16.

    Room Fourteen I really like this post for a whole lot of reasons. Firstly the fact that you used Skype to talk to Room Sixteen, secondly the fact that you followed that up with a face to face visit. Thirdly I have to say the classrooms of Hamilton East School look absolutely amazing with the displays that you have. I am sure that other schools are going to love to see it.

We created our own class treaty to symbolize how our class is a friendly and supportive learning environment.

Swimming

Everyday we have swimming. We have people who are learning to get their faces wet by playing ring-a-rosie. Some of us are learning to kick so the water bubbles. And some of us are learning to do freestyle without splashing the water by cupping our hands. On Fridays we get to practice our swimming by having free time. It is fun! Today we made a whirlpool. We made it go fast and it started dragging us. Then we went the other way. It was hard because the water was pushing us back. When we finished the water was pushing us along.

This week is the beginning of our Quad Blogging.  This is a great way to connect with other classes around the world. It is when you have other classes around the world that are your friends.
