Descriptive Writing

For Writing, we are learning to describe. This week we read a piece about Winter and analysed the good bits and brainstormed what else the writer could have done. Then we co-constructed our success criteria and decided what we wanted to write about. 

Now we are writing our own. We will post these on our individual blogs towards the end of this week.

Holes by Louis Sachar

This is the first week of Term 3 and we have jumped right back into learning. On our Reading taskboard, we have a new rotation that links to the book Mrs Naden is reading. Every afternoon, she reads the book and we follow along on the T.V. as the book is also on Mrs Naden's kindle which links to the laptop. 
This term we are reading Holes by Louis Sachar. Our tasks vary; some are drawing, some are Minecraft, some are research, some are Lego, some are word meanings, plus lots more. You might see these tasks on our individual blogs throughout the term.

Science Fair

For the past three weeks, we have been carrying out our Science Fair investigations. First we had to decide what we wanted to investigate and form a question and hypothesis. Next we worked out what materials we needed and how we were going to carry out our experiment (method). After that, we recorded our results, talked about what worked, what didn't and how we could improve it. Then we wrote up our science experiments on shared google slides, displayed the information on our science boards and created QR codes if we had videoed anything or wanted to explain something to you. Throughout the week, we will be posting our google slides on our individual blogs - keep an eye out because they will appear at different times during the week.
