Miss T's Classroom.

At the moment most of you are working on commenting on student blogs from overseas.  A few of you are starting up your own blogs.  Whatever you are working on at present Tyler’s blog from Bright Spots class blog  is a student blog that is really worth calling into.  To either comment on or to see how he has set out his blog and the kinds of posts he’s  made.

I read Britney’s post, just below mine about her little brother of 6 months learning to crawl, and it got me thinking about what I really want to learn and what makes me excited when I learn it. We do get excited when our younger brothers and sisters learn to crawl and walk and talk and many other things, and I think we should be excited and in awe of what they can do.

My question though is do you get excited too about your learning?  Do you cheer yourself, because I think we should. It is exciting and often we have overcome difficulties to learn it. I think about this blog this year and the time I have spent learning new skills. I’ve learned from people around the world. A boy in Ms Wyatt’s class in Australia, taught me through his post how to add the pet to our blog. I was so excited when I could do it. Well adding a pet doesn’t sound that exciting! For me it was, and because I have been able to use that learning and apply it to adding other widgets.

So what do I want to learn this term? Well I want to learn how to add on student blogs to our class blog so that some of you can start your own blogs. Now through the year I have learned the technical side of that, so it’s no problem, that now is my prior knowledge. Now I want to add on how do I have student blogs that students want to have and it’s a benefit to their learning, as well as fun.
So what do you want to learn?

Often tasks are difficult and we feel like giving up. I know I have a few of you in my class that think they will never get some ideas in Maths. I believe though it’s important to keep on inspite of our limits and difficulties and we never know just where we might get to. I would like share this video clip that somebody in Australia alerted me to. I think it has a message for all of us.

Guess what in the school holidays my little brother has started to crawl.  And he is only six months.  Now he’s moving his legs and arms up so that he can crawl. That is so cool aye!!!!!!!!!

My cat Pip is so lazy all she does is eat and sleep. When my sister and I get home from school she has to be sleeping. Her bed says “sleeping an art”,  my Mum and Dad bought it for only five dollars,  it was a really good buy. That’s why it is so appropriate because she is great at sleeping. When my Dad comes home from work she will run down the stairs and end up tripping you up just to get food.  After that she will go up the stairs and back to sleep.  If you come to my house she will be sleeping as usual in her bed that says “sleeping is an art”.

What does this sound like? Racing  zero to ninety kilometres per hour (55 mph) in just three seconds… a racing car perhaps ? No, it’s the top speed a cheetah can reach from a standing start. It is the fastest land animal by far over a short distance. When it’s chasing, its high- speed rarely lasts over 15 seconds [ roughly over 500metres] or else it will give up. And its gratefully breathless prey runs away. Like the leopard the cheetah hunts on its own. The cheetah’s attacker is the lion’s pride. There are 4 sub species in Africa and 1 in Iran.The male cheetah is simply known as the cheetah while the female cheetah is known as  the she- cheetah. This wild cat makes a sound like a hiss and a growl .  So if you’re  holidaying in Africa, watch out for the cheetah because you won’t have time to run!
