Here is a picture of one of our bright class walls with one of Miss Morrells favourite quotes, "The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary".... This quote reflects our virtue of the week, "EXCELLENCE" I wonder what that means....
 
Here is a photo of our picture plot we made for "The Gruffalo" we worked on it as a whole class thinking about what was important to include. Each part was done by different people. Tj was our Gruffalo and Miss Morrell traced him! Other people did the other creatures, the painting and the forest.
Inquiry:
On Thursday afternoon we had a guest speaker come into room 15 to tell us about their childhood. The guest speaker was actually Miss Morrells mum! She is 57 so it was interesting for our class to learn about childhood and life 50 years ago. We learnt about milk at school, riding bikes or horses to school, uniforms, dress types, what people used to do for fun etc. We were shocked that there were no electronics and that parents would just let you go outside and play until it was dark. School work sounded much the same except children had to sit by themselves and the teacher would sit at the front. We also learnt about the strap and the cane! This was very surprising to lots of our class. We asked lots of intelligent questions and showed our virtues to our guest.We have lots of questions about this time now and are burning to ask them! A great way to start our inquiry.
Studyladder results at the end of our first week:

2nd Charlotte
3rd Ben

Well done everyone, I have also had to give out loads of bronze, silver and gold certificates this week! Awesome work Room 15! Keep it up!

Studyladder
Room 15 now has Studyladder up and running, its a handy way for us to practise our maths, reading and spelling as well as fun educational games.

Each child has been given their username and password. They collect points for all the great work they do and our class has its own podium, plus when the children get certain amounts of points they get certificates!
