Learning Fun with Miss Eglinton

Miss E's Medal Chart

For the last two weeks, we have been lucky to be learning with the wonderful candidate teacher, Miss Eglinton. She is in the first year of her teacher training and has been making a fantastic contribution to the learning and culture of Room 6.

What will happen next?

Miss Eglinton been reading the class the mysterious and adventurous novel, "The Ghosts of Young Nick's Head" by Sue Copsey. Room 6 love it! One group of students have been creating their own retells of the chapter, "Plunged into Darkness". They have been focusing on adding interesting details through choosing emotive language. Check out Ben's example here!


We have also really enjoyed our Commonwealth Games challenges. Look at the awesome medal chart that Miss Eglinton created! Can you guess which country each flag belongs to?

The Second Gold Medal

Today we played balloon hockey in the hall with Room 19. It was fun!

Thanks Mrs Hardaker!

Jared from Swaziland, silver was Mary from India and bronze was Brayden from Tonga :)

First Gold for Scotland!

Our first gold medal goes to Scotland! Silver to Canada. Bronze to South Africa. The event was Compass Fitness. Well done to Cameron for bringing home the gold for Scotland!

Commonwealth Skype from Kieren Moriarty on Vimeo.

On Tuesday, Room 6 (along with Room 8) had the amazing opportunity to Skype Scotland and talk to Craig Palmer, the sports scientist in the New Zealand cycling team! I was very impressed with the questions that the children asked. Craig did a wonderful job, answering their questions. A huge thank you to Cameron, his brother Thomas and his mum Tania Potts for organising this. We were so lucky! Go the New Zealand team!
