It's hard to slow our class down!
Here's the second in our movie series, this time produced by students from Reading Group 3.
Great acting team! You all got right into your characters and used your bodies and voices effectively to bring your character to life!
Thanks once again to Mrs Thomas the tank engine who directed, filmed and edited this one.
Great song choices!

Communication Breakdown!
Last term our reading group 4 made a movie based on a school journal play called 'Communication Breakdown'. The children worked on the play for 5 weeks before filming with their director Mandy Thomas. Thank you Mandy!
Special thanks go to Jacob Thomas for his dedication to the project. Jacob did both the camera work and editing fo the movie. I know how long it takes to edit video Jacob, and you have done such a great job with the effects.
Here is their final product!

Room One Statistics Investigation

In order to find out what seniors preferred the most we asked them to vote on their top 10 playground activities.
We have made a bar graph of our findings.
The top 6 were (in order of higest vote to lowest):

Blog Evaluation
How can we create the best blog for us?
That's the question we are going to be researching in our reading time this week.
Use the links on the right to find out what other classes are blogging about, evaluate a couple of them, and be ready to report back your findings next week in reading groups.
Happy blog spotting!
