The Zoo Excursion

In Week 10 we went to the Zoo with Room 6 as we had been studying animals all term. We were able to find all of the different types of animals we had learnt about including the reptiles, African animals, jungle animals and Australian animals. We even saw the old bear enclosure which we had talked about in History when comparing enclosures from the past, to enclosures in the present. We had such a great day and bus ride home was very quiet as we were all so tired, some of us even fell asleep. 

 

  

    

Teddy Bears Picnic

In Week 10 we had a Teddy Bears Picnic with our buddy class, Room 15. Unfortunately, due to the weather we couldn't go to the park but we still had a fantastic time. We read to our buddies and they read to us and asked us comprehension questions. When we had finished reading, we ate fruit kebabs that we made earlier that day following a procedure in writing. We had a wonderful afternoon at our Teddy Bears Picnic.  

Buddies with Room 15's Year 5/6's

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.

Measuring Capacity

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.
