Margaret Smart: teacher aide, all round good sort and pianist. |
ROOM 7 sings their song about being healthy inside and out. |
At the end of Room 7's inquiry learning about "Healthy Inside and Out" Mrs Williams and the students brainstormed all of the things they had learnt that they needed to do to ensure that they all stayed healthy. What a clever way to ascertain what students can apply to their own lives.
Suzanne wrote the ideas into verses and a song was about to be born.
That's where Mrs Smart comes in. She put the words to music. Margaret practiced playing a familiar tune so that the children could sing their song in assembly. "I'm a little Tea Pot" has never sounded so good.
It was a smash hit and reinforces our belief that learning should be about real life things and that it should be fun.
