In Week 8 we all met with our buddies to plan a fiction story on a story board. We needed to choose our characters and settings before writing a problem and the events of our stories. On the day of the schools official opening half of our class used 'Puppet Pals' on the iPads to act out the stories we had planned. The other half of us demonstrated some of the skills we have practised in sport this year with our buddies. We all did really well and had a fantastic time.
Room 7 has been learning all about Capacity in Measurement. We took part in an investigation called "The Biggest Drink". For this investigation we had to imagine there were no hoses or sprinklers. We had to find the container with the largest capacity, which could be used to water the garden. We worked in teams to choose four containers and estimate how many cups each container would hold. The next day we measured the capacity of each container with sand. We used a cup as our unit and compared the results to our estimations. We were then able to see which container would give the garden the biggest drink.
