Zoom Meetings - when we get together to talk about our learning, and have the chance to be a class together online.

-

 As we begin to get back into the hang of doing Zoom meetings, we need to review some of the norms and expectations for how they should run.


Just like in class where we have talked about how each of our New Windsor Way values show in our Learner Behaviour rubric, we should also be thinking how "Prepared for Learning", "Mat Space", "Group Work" and "Outside the Classroom"can also be used in our Distance Learning.  A key place is how our Zoom meetings run when we are all on our computers at home.


Please watch this video link, and create a list of things you believe need to be refined or improved on by the people attending this Zoom Meeting. Do we need to share some of these to make our Zoom Meetings better too for everyone attending?

    This was a really helpful blog post and made me think of how well I prepare for my meetings before I begin. I am going to make a big effort if the Lockdown goes longer to think of these suggestions.

Experiments with Force and Motion

As part of our exploration into Force and Motion, we have been making Marble Runs, Marble Mazes and Domino Chains. Cyrus created an effective chain of DVD cases and books, beginning his chain by rolling a ball towards it and also getting it to run around a corner. With the challenge on to experiment with a large run of dominoes, Joshua built a superbly complex design. He used a range of layered dominoes, a car race track and a small car to launch his chain. If you would like more information or to see what others have created and learnt, please scroll down to the padlets below and view our class work which is getting updated and added to most days.

Our Summer Challenge poem - Writers Circle

-

 We've been given a challenge to write a summer poem, that uses only 3 of our senses, based on a picture of a boy mowing a lawn.  Stage 1 was to draw and then brainstorm some ideas for the sounds and smells we would have on a summer's day while lawns are being mown in the neighbourhood. Today's stage was to read the mentor's piece of writing, and look at the set out and language used. Using highlighters we located nouns, verbs and adjectives; talking about how they were used and what they do in a piece of writing. Our next stage is to write our own, and share with each other so that we can make it come alive for our readers.
