How we feel about the new layout of our classroom
The good, the bad and the interesting after two weeks of our new classroom. (ditching the desks and allowing more choice and responsibility about our learning)
We discussed our ideas in groups and took turns to record them into a PMI chart. We typed all our ideas onto one whole class PMI chart.

Writing arguments
Should we have nude food at school?
I strongly disagree that food should be nude. Just look at it. All this hard work and one piece of litter dropped we all get told off.
You can’t get a whole school of some naughty people and some bad people to come along and not drop litter. It would be unbelievable if that could happen.
How about you look at the children too? They get told off for litter that isn’t even theirs. All the teachers do is tell us children off for dropping litter. Then look at the parents of the children. Every day they have to unwrap the food. It still goes to waste. They just throw it away and it goes to the same place all the rubbish goes to. A big hole.
How about now you look at what the children are eating. It all gets mushed up together in their lunch box. They have to eat a new thing every day. Maybe for Monday a mushed banana with a cookie or orange with some chips. It tastes horrible.
There is that you can save the earth but I believe that we just can’t do it.
So are you convinced now? I bet you are.

Spring has arrived in room 1
Artwork inspired by Jackson Pollock and Spring
Daffodils by Katana
Spring
Spring is in the air spring is everywhere
Blooming blossoms on the trees
Swaying daffodils growing out of the earth like gold appearing out of the ground
That lovely smell in the air
All types of flowers, red ones, yellow ones, purple ones, pink ones,
all the colours you could imagine
