Here is what is happening in Room 18 this term:
Arts: We will be doing creative dance and learning many new dance terms and composition skills.
Writing: Narrative Myths and Legends, as you will see below this is a theme that runs through many of our core subjects this term.
Reading: to begin with we will cover Myths and Legends. The children are about to use 'Thinkers Keys' as part of their learning about a range of Myths and Legends from around the world. Wondering what 'Thinkers Keys' are .. click this LINK.
Oral Language: Story telling. Children will learn about techniques used in effective story telling and will tell their own stories in presentations to their class.
Mathematics: We are learning about statistics as part of our strand work this term and have already begun collecting data about our pulse rates. We will also be concentrating on Multiplication and Division as our number focus.
Rich Task: Is fitness worth all the fuss? That is our big question and children are learning about 5 key body systems -circulatory, digestive, respiratory, muscular and the nervous systems. The second half of the term will focus on body health and fitness. Ways to improve and maintain good health in the body.
Camp: Children will spend 4 days at Carey Park in Henderson Valley in Week 5 of this term. It will be a great learning experience for all involved.
Stay tuned for more updates and more awesome Room 18 learning!

I'm Zach and I have just come back from camp at Carey Park Christen camp.
Because I went there last year only a few of the things were a new experience for me like: Orienteering, Bush study and new people in my cabin, I really enjoyed these new experiences!
My highlights are: The SCREAM MACHINE and the BURMA TRAIL, DUM, DUM, DUMMMMMMM :>)
Camp was really fun this year.
Because mine is the first post I cant comment on anyone else's post but I think everybody's post's will be really good!!! ( I'll come back later...)
