Road Safety entries...

Over the last several weeks some groups of children have been working hard on creating a storyboard about staying safe as they come to school.

This was the process each group followed:
1.  Brainstorm different ways to keep safe on their way to school.
2.  Choose one of the ways to keep safe.
3.  Decide who their characters will be.
4.  Plan a beginning, middle and ending for their story.
5.  Follow their plan and create a storyboard (stretch out their beginning, middle and ending).
6.  Re-read their storyboard, change, add or delete...
7.  Miss O'Neill put their creation onto a powerpoint, then printed it.  The groups then had to re-edit it.
8.  Record their voices reading the story.

So you can see it was an extremely long process - how clever are the children from Room 10!

School Holidays

Mr Bojangles resting.

Oh dear!  Both Miss O'Neill and Mr Bojangles have been sick with the flu over most of the holidays.  Luckily after lots of rest we are feeling much better and can't wait to see everyone again on Monday.

While we were sick we discovered some ways to stop our germs reaching other people.  I wonder if Room 10 know these too?

1.  Wash our hands, especially after using the toilet, coughing, sneezing and blowing our noses.  In Room 10 we share a lot of things like pencils and crayons...let's show WE CARE by washing our hands regularly.

2.  Cough or sneeze into our elbows if we can.  If we cough or sneeze into our hands...remember to wash them straight away.

3.  Don't come to school sick!  Keep your germs at home!
