We are a class of Prep students, sharing all that's happening in our classroom. This blog was started by the first group of Gems, a Year One class back in 2007. We, the 2012 Gems are proud to continue on the conversation. You can read, watch and listen as we share our learning journey - a journey where we 'learn to blog' and 'blog to learn'. Please visit regularly to see what's new and join in the conversation - we'd love for you to be part of our learning.

PLANNING FOR OUR PHOTOSTORIES!

Sometimes when you start something new, it can be scary because you don't know what you need, where to be, what to do or how to do it!
But when you know the routines, then it's easy.
So this term, we have been learning how to 'DO' school... to learn the routines so we can be CONFIDENT and CAPABLE LEARNERS.
We have decided to make PHOTOSTORIES to explain our routines.
Before we can make our Photo
Stories, we have to know what we are doing.
WE HAVE TO HAVE A PLAN!
Here's the PROCEDURE we followed.

1. We listed all our routines.
2. We formed groups of 3 and chose a routine. Each group had a 'Team Leader'.



3. We discussed what the routine looked like. We listened to each other and shared ideas. We took turns and used words like: "That's a good idea" and "What do you think?"


4. We drew up a PLAN showing ALL the STEPS in the routine.




Now we know what photos to take for each PHOTOSTORY and what ORDER to put them in.



Mrs M said each group demonstrated GREAT TEAMWORK.
WE WERE ALL LEADERS AND COLLABORATORS!

WHAT WE CAN TEACH OTHERS

Last week we left comments about what we could teach each
other on our DO YOU HAVE TO BE A TEACHER TO TEACH? post.

We talked about how you could find someone to teach you how to do gymnastics or how to play soccer.

We knew a good place to start is the YELLOW PAGES and we thought it would be a good idea to make our own 1M YELLOW PAGES. Then it would be easy to know who could teach us what we wanted to learn!

We started by making a list of all the things that children in 1M could teach each other.

*Max can teach you how to draw Sponge Bob Square Pants.
*Courtney can teach you to do cartwheels and the splits.
*Sophia can teach you how to dig up rocks.
*Alastair
can teach you to jump high.
*Bryce can teach you how to walk and skip at the same time.

*Jarvis can teach you how to log on to our blog.
*Naomi can teach you how to rollerblade (Mrs Duffy wants to learn how to rollerblade!)
*Patrick can teach you to swim backstroke without a board
and stay between the lines when colouring in.
*Lauren can teach you how to make a bridge with their body.

*Kimmi can teach you to do cartwheels.
*Matthew can teach you to hop on one foot.
*Ben can teach you how to ride a two wheeler bike
and how to play golf.
*Johanna can also teach you how to do somersaults.
*Isabella can teach you to draw butterflies .
*Billee-Jane can teach you how to tie shoelaces and do handstands.
*Lachlan can teach you to draw boats, cars and computers.
*Jacob can teach you how to ride a bicycle and to build with wood.
*Daniel can teach you how to do jumping and spinning tricks and
also how to jump high on the trampoline.
*Harrison can teach you how to swim, especially butterfly and backstroke.
*Brooke can teach you how to ride a skateboard and how to do ballet.
*Tierney can teach you how to cook, especially spaghetti bolongaise and vegetables.
*Laura can teach you how to draw, in particular, angels.
*Flynn can teach you how to write hard words like 'said' and hard letters like Z.
*Callum can teach you to play basketball- how to shoot, dribble and to listen to your coach.
*Jack can teach you how to play the Spiderman game on Playstation and also how to build lots of things with Lego.

PARENTS/GRANDPARENTS...WHAT ABOUT YOU?
WE KNOW YOU'RE VERY CLEVER TOO!
WHAT COULD YOU TEACH US?
TELL US WHAT YOU HAVE TO OFFER IN A COMMENT.

OUR NEXT STEP IS FOR EACH OF US TO CREATE AN AD FOR OUR
1M YELLOW PAGES.
NOW WE HAVE OUR 'THINKING CAPS' ON.
WE'RE THINKING:
WHAT WILL OUR AD SAY?
WILL WE HAVE A PICTURE IN OUR AD?
ARE WE GOING TO GIVE OURSELVES A 'SPECIAL NAME'?
WHERE COULD WE LOOK FOR IDEAS?

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, 1M? SHARE YOUR IDEAS IN A COMMENT.
