The Button Box and Attributes

We enjoyed reading "The Button Box" and creating our own button collection in a special box.  Using our buttons we learned about attributes and different ways of sorting our buttons using our knowledge of attributes.

Firefighter Denise

We had a special guest into Roywood this morning!  Fire fighter Denise came to visit us and brought along her friend Sparky the Fire Dog to talk about safety.

Food Basics Visit

We will be walking to Food Basics on Thursday morning.  We will be shopping for ingredients to make a special snack for Friday.  Your child needs to be dressed for the weather that day, nothing else is required for the trip!

Meet Sally

This is Sally.

She's become the class pet in Room 104.  Everyone loves to play with Sally and she often joins the children at different activities.  Some students take special care to give her a bath and feed her on a regular basis.

If you hear stories about Sally at home, now you know who we're talking about!

Light, shadow and letters

We experimented with a new way to make words today!

We look forward to seeing where the children's curiosity takes us with the overhead projector!

Roywood's 50th Anniversary!

We are celebrating Roywood's 50th Anniversary this Saturday, the 23rd of November.

Drop in between 11am ~ 2pm to see photos of Roywood through the years, catch up with former teachers and reconnect with alumni.

Hope to see you there!

More math in action

Here are some photos of another math activity the students enjoy: domino trains!  This game practices counting skills and recognizing a small group without counting.  And its fun to see how long we can make our trains!

Patterns, patterns everywhere!

We've wrapped up our unit on patterning but here are a few quick shots of some pattern-makers in action!

Please forgive the decreasing quality of our photographs and brief quiet period!  We've had some technology set backs (and breakdowns!) but things should be back to normal now!
