Book Parade

What a great end to our 2 weeks of celebrating all things to do with books!
We had different teachers come to read to us each day as well as DEAR (drop everything and read).  There was also a pyjama evening, where we came to school in our PJs and listened to stories read to us by different teachers.
Thanks to all the parents who came along to see us parading in our costumes and to all for helping us to come up with such great outfits for the day!

The "Willowbank" Olympic Opening Ceremony

Room 8 represented Poland at the Willowbank Olympics.  Along with learning about Poland and the host nation for this years Olympics, we also had a great time in our team Olympic sport; soccer! 


Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

In response to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, room 8 has been using Thinking Skills around Multiple Intelligences and Bloom's Taxonomy and have created some wonderful machines!  
There was an amazing amount of hard work put into these and the children were so focused and enthusiastic about this assignment!

The children in room 8 are really enjoying learning about the Olympics and London at the moment.
We have discussed the history of the Olympics and the meaning of them as well as what the emblem and mascots stand for.
Here is a link to a great site about the London 2012 Mascots.  Have a look around, watch some videos and play some games.
