Nearly ready to place our Touchstones

Room 11 have been working extremely well on their Touchstone project.  For the last two weeks they have been working in self-selected groups to complete their part of the project on time.  I have been amazed by how well they have worked together, persevered with their task and been committed to producing work to a high standard.

We had a writing team who wrote the story and had lots of fun acting out some parts to see if they made sense and were interesting.

 We had a touchstone design team who designed the class touchstones, decided which designs suited each of our locations and painted them.

 We have had an illustration team busily working on pictures to go with the story and the cover.

 Our research team was busy typing up the information that had been gathered from the homework task about places in our community.

                         
                        We had a team working on information to go in the notice to parents.

Parents, please come to a walk around Stoke with us.  Please don’t bring cars.  We need you to help us walk with the class so we don’t loose any kids.  All of Room 11 is going and there’s 29 people.  Oooooh that’s a lot of kids.  We have written a story for the walk.  We will be going to Broadgreen Intermediate, Nayland Pools and the Rose Gardens.  Then we go to Octopus Garden and have lunch at Isel Park.

It will be helpful if you can come.

We also had a team working on creating a map, deciding the order the stones should be placed in and the route we should take on our walk.  (Pictures to come)
