Old School Day

These photos are of room 3 at the Bishop's School. We got to dress up in olden day clothes. We got to experience what school was like in the 1840's.
We were thinking what was different between the classrooms now and then.

They said that they did work all day!!

These are some of the things that different.
*Desks.
*Clothes.
*Teachers are more strict .
*They had canes and straps.

Rm3 photos t1 w3 2010

These photos are of Miss Lonsdale taking rm3 in music. We were making beats with instruments. There is also Room 3 playing dodgeball, we had to try to get everyone out by hitting them with a ball and we played line tag. There are also photos of us working on our logos, our title pages and there are even some funny ones of us doing brain gym-can you guess which ones???

Woo hoo! 2010

Welcome to 2010 in Room 3.
What a great group of students!
We have already started finding out about our individual learning styles by completing quizzes on Multiple Intelligences (there are 8 different forms of intelligence according to Howard Gardner), Left or Right brain dominance which gives us an indication as to whether a person is more logical or creative, V.A.R.K (Visual, Auditory, Reading or Kinesthetic) to determine what form of instruction is easiest for us to learn from and on top of that we will also find out about our personality types.
Please take the personality type quiz on the links section of the sidebar.

All this information will help us to find out about our strengths and weaknesses so we can set goals in our learning this year and to recognise that not everyone learns the same way as we do!
I am looking forward to learning the results...

A Puzzling Day

Today Mr Wills took our class while Mrs McRobert wrote our reports. Not only did we play a number of puzzles but we discussed good puzzle design and the similarities and differences between puzzles. Mr Wills challenged us to adapt a puzzle of our choice to make it unique.
Troy liked playing the puzzles.
Tunisia enjoyed using her brain in a different way.
Jacob thoroughly enjoyed the different version of capture the flag.

On camp bay-watch was one of the four activities that we did. The leaders of each group were in charge of one game. Kate and Laura were in charge of bay-watch. Bay-watch is a relay game where you have to run to get a baton the first person to get the baton wins the round ,we have a few rounds and we find a boy winner and a girl winner. The boy winner was Manu and the girl winner was Savanah. Everyone really enjoyed the relay.
