Term 3 Incentive Day

Yesterday in room 12 we had our incentive day. To be able to participate we have to earn the right to play. We have to work on our spelling, completing work on time, following instructions and being organised.
We had Nintendo Wii, Nintendo ds, singstar, connect four and much more
Here is a photo of our class Connect four Champion, Rachael. Our Singstar champion was a complete shock but not to the winner. Our champion is our teacher Mr Madge. He certainly sings flat but he sure knows how to hold a note.

Three way conferences

Last night the school held parent interviews. However, in room 12 we did our interviews in a three way conference. This involved the students sharing their learning with their parents, using their learning portfolios to support them.
Parents commented on how well their children did, and that they enjoyed hearing their children talking about their learning. Mr Madge's role was to be there and offer support if needed. As it was, the students did a great job, and he had very little to do.
Well done room 12, you did a great job.

Spelling Assessment

Today me (Jordan) and the rest of the class had to do a spelling assesment to go in our Learning Portfolio. I got 20/20 for my proofreading skills 5/5 for suffixes and last one 4/5 for adding suffixes. We reflected on our spelling results using the 6 thinking hats, the Green hat or the creative hat, White hat or facts hat and the red hat or the feelings hat. Those people who did not finish their assesment will be completing it on Monday.

Learning Basic Facts In Room 12

Basic Facts In Room 12
In room 12 we have a basic facts program. We have charts, A through to E. We each started on chart A, which is addition, and we are all now on separate charts.
Each morning Mr. Madge calls the roll and then we move onto basic facts. On each chart there are 6 columns, A through to F. Mr. Madge calls out a column which we all do, no matter what chart we are on. We have twenty questions on each column and we have 3 minutes to answer them and record the answers in our books. Mr. Madge calls out the answers for all the charts, which we mark, and then we fill in our score record sheet. We each have our record sheet glued into our books and we colour in the score we got. When we get four 20/20 scores we move onto the next chart. When we have completed each chart we start again on chart A, this time with 2 minutes to complete the set of questions. After 2 minutes its 1 minute, and then 30 seconds.
Chart A is addition, chart B is subtraction, chart C is multiplication, chart D is division and chart E is them all mixed together.
