Counting by 6 Song

Here is a song we used in Maths this week (and quite happily for indoor fitness too actually!). It will help with our skip counting and make learning our times tables later in our school life easier. The song goes past 60 but if we can remember 6, 12, 18, 24, 30... 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 I would be over the moon- Enjoy!

The Sheppard Team Leader's Debate

A cool link for Lego Lovers!

This is not related to learning in Room 9 in any way but it is quite cool to check out...

Telling the Time Links

We are learning to tell time. Here is a game which gets you to match a clock to times. It might be a bit tricky for some, but have a go!

Here is actually a good school website with all the links there and more. Easier levels seem to be available :)

Art Attack Week

Term 3 is starting off with an Art Attack across the school! Exciting times are ahead! In Room 9, we have been looking at Georges Seurat who created Pointillism -basically his work is a collection of individual dots which, when joined together, create a picture. The painting below took over 2 years to complete and has over 3 million dots of paint.

Also, just so you know, we are using washable paint in class and we do have half a class set of art shirts around that I can share. However, if you have one to spare at home, it will help keep everybody's uniforms as clean as possible. Thanks!
