2013, a new school year

Hi,
My name is Emily, I am in room 12 as a year 6.
This year, so far we have been doing a lot of art!
We have gone swimming and done jump jam.
I am looking forward to reading and all the responsibilities.  2013 is going to be an awesome year, and
 choc-a-block full of fun and exciting learning!



Here is a little game for you, so you can learn a little more about me.  I have wrote down two truths and one false you have to guess which one is false.


I love reading
I love goody goody gum drops
I would like a dog

Have a guess I will post the answer soon

End of year craft (making soft toy owls)

This term one of  our main focuses of learning was to create your own soft toy owl.
We started by learning to practice our running stitch.
After a little bit of practice we learnt the whip stitch.
Then we chose our material and stared stitching on the wings, eyes, becks. tails, tummy's and feet.

After that we stitched together our front and back, We running stitched the top and sides and we whip stitched the bottom.

Before that we stuffed our owls.

I really enjoyed making my owl, it was challenging but fun.

What I disliked was pricking my finger OW!!!!!

All together it was so cool

Here is my finishing result.

Paired Writing

This Term in room 12 we have been doing paired writing. We have two types of people the tutor and  the buddy. I was a tutor and My Buddy was Caleb. I had to help Caleb. 3 things I have learned are to think about the things you are writing and what your buddy is writing. To think deeper about what my buddy is writing and to fix my own mistakes. 2  comments on my buddy are to write down your words you don't know how to spell on the try page before you write on the paper. Also try put more detail in your writing. 1 thing that challenged me was making sure what I told Caleb was correct.

Juggling

In room 12 we have been learning to juggle, It is really complicated.
 First we had to practice throwing one ball in a figure eight and just dropping it.
Next we tried two balls and let them drop but trying to land them close to where our hands would have been.
We are still working on juggling two balls!

High Jump

It is nearly athletics time at Vardon school, and room12 is practicing high jump.
We started by jumping over elastic and then we started on the poles.
You have to scissor jump your legs high over the bar and try not to knock the bar off.
Our next event is running.

I'm not very fast but I will try hard
