Welcome to Room 11's first thinking blog!
On here you will find different ways in which we are looking at what thinking means to us. We will also be embarking on some of our own personal inquiries into areas we want to know more about about, finding opportunities to think critically about the world around us.
We hope that you enjoy our blog and also learn something as we report back on our thinking journey.

What can you draw from a simple squiggle?
What can you make from a simple squiggle?
Wow what an amazing range of squiggle drawers in Room 11! No two pictures were the same. Everyone started off with the same little squiggle on a page and created their own picture from it along with a short story.
Check out the cool pictures we created and what made us think of our particular image when we saw the squiggle.

Thinking through pictures
I like the real side best because the main detail if you have a colourful land you might crash into it thinking it is your old land. I did my sun and sky colourful because it could get people to go into that land. We were learning that if you create your own way it is your own ideas and no one elses ideas its the way you think.
Thinking through pictures
I like my right hand side better because it is gold and red and the sun is blue because I like those three colours. Because red is for fire, gold is for crystals and blue is for water. I did the sea purple because in a cartoon there is purple and that cartoon is strong. I did the opposite for the trees on my side a brown tree and green trunk. We were learning that it was our choice and we could colour it any colour we wanted.
Thinking through pictures
I like my side the best because you got to add more stuff to the picture like the coconuts. I liked that you could make it colourful. I did my sun half red half blue so that it could look cool instead of just being one colour and because they are my favourite colours. We were learning to use our eyes to colour the picture in seeing the world with our eyes.

Thinking through pictures
I did the other side of the poster different colours because it looks cool and the trees are red because I thought of the flowers and I did the waves yellow because I thought of the sand. I definitly did the sky purple because it is my favourite colour and I did the clouds checkers because my brother likes checkers.
I did the plane yellow because I thought of the sand and I did the boat green because I thought of the
grass. I did the sand blue because I thought of the water . I like my side better because it has lots of different
colours in it. In class we were learning about thinking so that is why I did my side differently. I did the sun those colours because it looks cool and awesome that way, and I did the stork of the tree pink
because I thought of the flamingoes.

Thinking through pictures
My picture it says the sun is yellow the sky is blue the tree is green and the other side says the sun is not yellow and so I did the sun green and it say sky is not blue so I coloured the sky in yellow and it says that the palm tree is not green so I did the trunk green and did the leaves brown. I did the sun green because green is my favourite colour and I did the sky yellow because yellow is the colour of the sun and I did the palm tree of the leaves brown cause its the opposite to the trunk cause the trunk is brown and so I did the leaves brown because the trunk is brown and I did the trunk green because its the colour of the leaves. I like the real way better because I think the way it is looks better because the sun is yellow because it is bright.

Thinking through pictures
On Friday we got a picture to colour in. One side we had to colour the sun in yellow, the sky blue and the palm tree green. The colours you would usually see them in real life. On the other side we weren't allowed to colour the sun yellow, the sky blue or the palm tree green. We talked about creativitiy and thinking outside the square. Just because the sky is blue why must we always have to paint it blue, if we want our art to represent us who is to say it must be blue.
Have a look at what we came up and why we coloured our world the way we did.
