Welcome to this Room 11 blog. Our learning philosophy is to LEARN, CREATE an artifact that shows our learning, and then SHARE it in creative ways, including posting it here on this blog.The purpose of this blog is for students to become accustomed to sharing their learning, recieving feedback, and preparing them for having their very own blog.While students will make every effort to have work corrected and error free it is in fact authentic student work, showing where students are at, and so there are likely to be some mistakes. The aim is to note progress and improvement, and we expect to see this over time.

Sycamore Spinners
Do you want to learn how to make a windmill pencil. If you do read these instructions and you will soon know how.
Things you will need
. pencil
. sycamore seed
. nail
. sowing pin
1. Push the sycamore seed into the pointy end of the nail but hold the nail up so that it doesn’t move. If the sycamore seed cracks try again with another seed until you can get a hole in the seed and not a crack.
2. Turn the nail round to make the hole bigger. Turn the nail about 5 times. Pull the nail out very carefully and put it some where where nobody will get hurt by it and is out of the way.
3. Put the pointy end of the sowing pin throw the hole you made in the seed. Once you have done that put the blunt end of the sowing pin on the table. Get your pencil and push it onto the pointy end of the sowing pin, make sure it is at the end of your pencil. Hold the sowing pin so that it doesn’t fall over or break.
4. When you think the pin has been push into the pencil and won’t fall out you can find a fan or something like a fan to test it out. If it doesn’t work try it again but if it does WELL DONE.

Now you have a fun and great looking pencil windmill and you also have a great pencil decoration.
