Smarts

Miriama, Georena and Dhay-Sharne work on a word puzzle to see how many words they can find in 4 minutes.




Today, in Room 23, we were learning about being smart. I found out that there are 8 ways to be smart. They are number smart, word smart, people smart, body smart, art smart, self smart, music smart and nature smart. We did some number smart puzzles and some word puzzles. I think I am word smart because I talk alot and know lots of words. My teacher calls me a lexicon because I am like a dictionary. Here is a picture of me and my group doing a word game (above).

Regan, Timelessness and Tea worked together to make 5 squares during a 'number smart' investigation.

Bubble Blowing

Kelvin Road School started back at school last week and saw Room 2 looking for inspiration for their visual arts paintings using bubble blowing.
              
 We blew bubbles for inspiration during Art, and looked at all the different colours the bubbles could be.


 
 We then made our own bubbles on paper with different coloured dye and dishwashing liquid. We had lots of fun.


Way to go Room 2! I can't wait to see pictures of your bubble painting.
