Resolution Room

My name is Clare Gow and I am delighted to be the Resolution Room teacher for 2018.

Resolution Room is made up of Year 2 and Year 3 students. We are starting the year with a lovely number of 20, with just 7 boys and 13 girls.
 
I have really enjoyed the first few of days with the children, meeting and getting to know new children to Resolution Room and catching up with those who were in my class last year. Our focus for the first few weeks is on building a positive class community while seeing where the students are at before grouping them for instructional purposes.
 
Seesaw
This year I will be using an Online Learning Journal for Resolution Room called ‘Seesaw’ which will allow students to share their learning with their family members. I have just created a ‘Resolution Room 2018’ page. 

Wheelie Wednesday—on Wednesday’s your child is allowed to bring a scooter, skateboard or rollerblades to school, covered shoes and helmet are essential.
 
Science was our focus for Term 1. We looked at Flight. Things that fly need lift, drag, weight and thrust. We looked at the similarities between planes and birds. We learnt about propulsion and that it makes thrust to push something forward. We carried out experiments and tried to make things that can fly.

​At lunchtime some of us like to do planting and gardening with Mrs Austin. We like to grow things and look after them because it makes our school environment look beautiful.
 

At the beginning of the term we did some
​self-portraits of ourselves. We learnt about an artist called Modigliani and drew self-portraits like his. They look awesome on our wall!
