A Final Bit of Shakespeare

To complete our learning about Shakespeare we watched Gnomeo and Juliet - an animated version of Romeo and Juliet.  We discussed how they were the same and different and why movies are often different from books.  We are also writing a sequence of events in the movies.



We have also completed our Romeo and Juliet storyboards.  We practiced retelling the story then took them down to our buddies in PrePrimary and presented Romeo and Juliet to them.

Getting into the Christmas Spirit

Last week I had the students think about what they most enjoyed learning about this year.  We brainstormed and wrote a list on the board.  Students were then given a cut out of a hand and wrote one thing they most enjoyed learning, then coloured the hand.  I have them all displayed in the shape of a tree - they look great!!  It seems Kung Fu Punctuation and VCOP were very popular, so were some Maths concepts.  Glad to see that Shakespeare made it on there too!!
