So much has been happening in Room 3. Here are some little tasters from the students own blogs:
Today Room 3 joined up with Room 6 again to try and solve a maths puzzle. This one mixed finding sums with equilateral triangles and if the students wanted to get really tricksy, they could use reflective and rotational symmetry to help solve them. Asha has given some examples on her blog here and Anika has described her process here.
We've also been exploring time with Ms Julius when she was in our classroom. We got to create a piece of art based on time. Summer has a good example of it here on her blog.
We have a class focus on spelling this term and last week Billy worked hard on knowing his 3-letter blends. He's made a blog post about it here.
Some of the students have been learning how to create QR Codes to share information. We've been using them to summarise articles and stories we've been using in reading. Here's one that Sophie made. If you don't have a QR code reader they're easy to download for free from the app store.
For us less than tech savvy parent, can you guys please explain what a QR code is and do you have to have a smart phone to use? Thanks Sarah
ReplyDeleteGreat questions Sarah. QR Codes are those square bar code type things you might have seen appearing on shop windows, supermarket products, books...they're spreading! If you download a QR Code reader app onto your smartphone or iPad, then you can use it to scan the barcode and then more information about that product or place will show up on your device.
