Au revoir Room 14!


I am pleased to report our class pet, Sheldon, has settled into his new home perfectly. He will miss all of your smiling faces, you took such good care of him.

Tomorrow I will be hopping onto the plane off to start my new adventure. Before I go, I wanted to say how much I have enjoyed being the teacher of Room 14. You have all added something completely different to the class making it a fun place to be everyday. Greenhithe has been such a great place to teach at, I have really enjoyed my time here. You guys are why I love my job!

I look forward to checking in on your blog and seeing what you are up to. 

All the best!

Miss Chichester :)

Lights, Camera, Action!

Over the past two terms we have been looking at communication. We have studied forms of communication, such as the telephone as well as looking at how we can use different ways to communicate our messages, like through art, film and other types of entertainment.

Recently we have looked at how film and different camera angles and shot can communicate different messages to the audience.

After studying the film The Fox and the Child, we decided to have a go ourselves. Once in groups we all had a role to take to ensure our film could be made, such as director, editor, camera person, props and setting. Next we had to decide on an idea then plan the film's sequence using a storyboard. After a lot of time and patience we made all of our setting and we then ready to films our stop motion films.

We are all very proud of our hard work. Enjoy our films!

Pajamas In July

Pajamas In July                                             

On Friday 5th of July we had pajama day which meant the whole school could wear whatever they want, including pajamas. 

Our school also had to bring in a $1 coin or a $2 coin as a donation for the people who don't have warm pajamas to wear when they go to bed.

We all hope that the donations go to people who will use it sensibly and won't spend it on candy, hopefully they will use it on nice warm pajamas so they can have a nice sleep and stay healthy.

 When we got to school we were all in a nice bright, happy and cheerful colours, from all the bright colorful mufti and Pj's that we were wearing.

At morning tea we all raced out to play it all looked amazing from all the patterns racing out from the classrooms, we all ran different ways, we looked like a moving target.
