If You Learned Here: Our Classroom Trailers

We have been making movie trailers for our global project, "If you Learned Here". This week, we are thinking about our classroom and what we learn at Worser Bay. 

Silky soccer skills

We started our soccer training today. The children are learning a variety of skills, working as a team, and building on from last year.

We were also very excited to get close the cup won by Wellington. 

Drumming Wednesday

On Wednesdays we have a specialist teacher called Andreas coming in to teach us all about drumming and percussion instruments. We had so much fun! Here is one group's session...

The Tide

Shona's base group talked about what happens in the rock pools so that the creatures can survive when the tide goes out. Have a read of some of our stories.

The Tide is Going! By Eddie.
Oh no! The tide is going out. Get ready Mr Mussel. Shut your shells tight! Get ready Mr Sea Anemone. Tuck in your tentacles.

The Tide is Going Out. Be Nela.
Oh no! The tide is going out. Get ready Mr Chiton. Pull your shell close to the rock. Get ready Mrs Cockabully. Hide in the seaweed. Get ready Mrs Limpet. Pull into the rock like chiton. Get ready Mr Crab. Scuttle under a rock quickly. Get ready Mrs Sea Anemone. Pull in your tentacles close. Get ready Granddad Starfish. Cling onto a rock with your suckers.

If you learned here: Our Classroom

We are involved in a project called, "If you learned here". Our next task is to make a short movie to describe our day at school. http://ifyoulearnedhere.weebly.com/blog/theme-2-our-day-at-school

At Worser Bay School we collaborate

Some of our students have begun to think about what we should include in the movie. Here is one of our trailers...

We have been working together to create these trailers.

These are the padlets that have been posted for "Theme 2" of "If you learned here."

Planning our own trip to the rocky shore...

Today we went on a trip to Princess Bay. We planned our own trip. We were curious about what kind of creatures we would see. It was cold and windy and the sea was rough. The tide was in so we didn't see that much. We did see some sand hoppers though. It was fun to go on our own trip. 

A big thank you to Janis for taking us. 

By Thomas, Dylan, Ollie and Nikora
