Ardtornish Room 19/20: Welcome!

Welcome to our new blog! We are really excited to be able to use this blog to pass on information about what is going on in our classroom. In the past we have written newsletters but we are hoping this will be a more convenient way of keeping in contact with you all! We will also try to share successes, photos and celebrations with you. As part of this blog you are able to add comments that the students would find helpful, or you may like to ask general questions. This is not a place to ask specific questions about your child, bring up sensitive issues or problems as this blog can be seen by all parents. We want it to be about sharing and celebrating in all things to do with our class.
Over the last couple of weeks, as part of our Sea Theme, we have asked students to build a 3D Model of something to do with the Sea. The aim of this task is specifically about giving students the opportunity to give an oral presentation to the class where they need to explain the process they undertook. It also gives them the opportunity to ask, and respond to, questions from their peers. We have been truly amazed at the variety and the creative models students came up with. (see below for an example of some of the models produced).
Due to the wet and cold weather over the last week or two we have missed out on some of our fitness sessions and have been doing ‘indoor fitness’. The students have coped quite well with being locked inside for the whole day…. !
