Miss T's Classroom.

Here is a reminder of the fun and challenges that were there for all of us at El Rancho.

MB4 we are a week behind in the blogging challenge, run by Ms Wyatt.  This time we focus on our commenting.  Tomorrow, Tuesday we will be looking at commenting, what makes a good comment and then working in teams we will leave some comments.  We will also together draft a page for our class blog on how we want comments to operate on our blog.  So what makes a good comment? Is coooool a comment that is worth having? What kind of comments do you like on the posts you write?

This week’s challenges from Ms Wyatt’s challenge.

1.  Write a post or even a page about commenting on your blog. What sort of comments will you accept? Do you have to leave a name with a URL?  Are your comments moderated? Explain what this means. Will you accept critical comments about your spelling and grammar etc? 

2.  Visit at least 5 blogs from the participant list and leave appropriate comments.  Keep a record of what you said in a word document or discuss the comments you left  in a post.  Think about what you would like as comments on your blog before you write these. We will be looking at these again at the end of the challenge to see how you have improved with your commenting.

So Tuesday we will cover No 1.  Then for the rest of the week we will work on the commenting. I will show you how to keep a record in a word document, which you will do in some teams that I will organise.

Have you all recovered?  I have had a very busy weekend so I haven’t got the photos up on the blog but when I get back I will put them up.  Here is a video of some of the duties being carried out at camp.  I thought you were all excellent doing these, on time and carrying them out with responsibility and enthusiasm.  Also it was just great to be at camp with a group of students who were well mannered and a pleasure to be with.  Thanks to all the parents who helped out at camp.  You were outstanding.

How did you participate in the warm up each week?  Either at school or at home this week leave a comment on this post and the next two.

The video will help you remember some of the things you did.  What do you think you did best?  What did you improve at?  What would you want to work on next year when we do gymnastics again?

Park Play

I never know what each day is going to turn up! No day in a classroom is ever the same. One morning last week  before school I lifted my head to be greeted by this strange sight!

Being a little nervous of odd looking rectangular boxes with arms I left it to a couple of the boys to check this mysterious walking box out and find out what it was all about! 

I would think that after 45 minutes of gymnastics that the class would want to rest. No! They then love to spend another 45 minutes on the go in the park while we wait for MB2 to go through their gym class.
