Drumming by Piripi

Rhythm Interactive came to PBS and the whole school got to play the african drums at the same time. Everyone really enjoyed listening to the rhythm and trying to follow what Jonny was drumming. Piripi was amazed at how good at drumming everyone was.

Continuing to build our Room 9 learning community

This picture shows Dontalian creating a google presentation of one of the ways we continue to build our Room 9 learning community. He used the Ipad to capture images of Room 9 working collaboratively as Critical Friends. Being a critical friend means you have a forensic look at your partner's work. You work together  to find the bits that they got wrong and help them fix their errors. We use the ideas in our Room 9 Writing Toolkit to help us make changes.

Duffy Assembly by Dontalian

Today we had a guest that talked about planes. He told us about some of the planes. His name was Guy Clapshaw. Dontalian worked with Miss Paton to create this slideshow of pictures that he took while he was listening to Mr Clapshaw.

Topic Challenge

Room 9's challenge was to find the answers to each of the three set questions then explain their findings in 25 words. They have done a great job of finding the facts and putting them into their own words.

What is Pollination?

Pollination is a process which pollen is transferred from the anther to the stigma of the plant. Thereby  it makes it possible to Fertilization  and reproduction.

Explain in 25 words that the role bees have in a plant reproduction?

Bees help plants grow. Without bees we wouldn’t get chocolate, coffee, bread and most other foods that we have today.  They help us alot.

Explain in 25 words how plant reproduction processes produce much of our food.

The plants reproduces more so than  before, because the bees have helped it grow  by transferring pollen from one flower to the female flowers stigma.

What is pollination?

Pollinators (Bees etc.) collect pollen from plants and put pollen on other plants so they can grow. Without pollen there wouldn’t be plants and other things..

What role do bees have in plant reproduction

Bees fly to plants. They grab the pollen. Bees carry pollen to other plants. The pollen jumps on to the plant to help it grow.

How plant reproduction processes produce and much of our food

Plant reproduction is creating more plants. More plants mean more fruits and more food that grow in the ground to eat.

Playing Soccer

This is me playing soccer with Pah Nwee, Jacob and Tamim. We liked the crossbar challenge the best. We had to try and hit the crossbar by kicking the ball. It was fun.

Soccer is my favourite sport.
