All the kids in Room 9 helped make our Marmite and Lettuce, and Mayonaise and Lettuce sandwhiches.

Room 9 please tell me what you have learnt and what you enjoyed about today. You may even want to tell me how you helped in our little production line:-)

Writing: Newspaper Reports HOMEWORK

We have been looking at non-fiction texts and how to write a newspaper report.
For your week 4 homework I would like the Room 9 children to write a newspaper report using the interactive website that we used in class.
Once you have finished writing your report and adding in those cool pictures, please print it or email to Miss Shaw.
Click here for the website.

P.S Can you remember what features/types of words you use in a piece of writing like this? What is the social purpose?

Globalisation: Commonwealth Games and Communication.

This term we have begun looking at Globalisation.
Our first activity was to show Miss Shaw what we thought this topic was all about. We placed our topic banner on the floor and set off to find images that we thought might be related to our topic. This showed Miss Shaw what we already knew.



Today we then began looking at the following statement:
We live in an interconnected and interdependent world.

What does this mean for Room 9 students?
How do we know?
What evidence do we have?
Why do we?

Room 9, please post a response to the questions above.
