Room 12 update

What a full on few days it has been for us!

We had a fantastic trip on Friday to Downstage to watch a performance by Capital E called 'End Game'. We were given the opprotunity to offer some feedback on what we enjoyed about the show and what we thought could be improved. It was really interesting to listen to the very well thought out comments by the children.

Today we had a Netball Tournament that most of Room 12 were involved with. Although we did not win many games we did win the Fair Play award - check out the Sports Blog for a run down on the tournament - www.muritaisports.blogspot.com

Tomorrow (Wednesday) we are participating in the soccer tournament run by SportZone. It is here at school, everyone is involved and you are welcome to come along and watch the games.

Our inquiry is going really well and the children are so involved and finding out so much about the histroy of Eastbourne.
We have done some 'mini inquiry projects' on a community resource that either used to be in Eastbourne, or still is. These are very informative and the children enjoyed learning so much about the community - check out the photo's below.

Our Character descriptions are coming along nicely. The children have been writing Similies and Metaphors to make their writing stronger and more intersting. We are now choosing a person to write about and are brainstorming things we know about them.

The children are really enjoying Gymnastics and are always very eager to get along to the hall on Monday afternoons to learn their skills. So far no one can beat Zara to the top of the ropes. She is amazing!!
