Library

While we were in the library this week another class came in and so we decided to read to them. These are the newest students to our school and it was fun to spend time with them. 

Also in the first picture is the newest addition to our class, Annabelle. We are so happy to have her join our class for the end of the year.

Collaborative problem solving

Today we were put into random groups and given the task to build the tallest free standing structure using only newspaper and 1m of tape. Parinaz, Emily and Jade were the most successful! They spent a lot of time working on the base before building up which proved to be a perfect strategy!

New app

Today Mrs Gundesen taught a new ipad app to many children from different classes.  MacKenzie, Emily, Jordan and Liam went from our class to learn the new app and share it with us.  The app is called iReadWrite and it helps us find the correct words for our writing and then it reads our writing back to us.  It's a fantastic app that can really help us with our writing.  The children who went had fun teaching us and posting their stories to their individual blogs.

A busy week in review

Another week has flown past!  Here are a few highlights from the week.
FITNESS
For fitness this week our focus has been 'games', so we made up one.  The children named it 'Hide and Guide'.  All of the children found a hiding spot in the nature walk behind our class.  Two children were 'it' and they had to close their eyes and be guided by a friend who gave them instructions to find the children who were hiding.  A lot of fun was had by all!






ART
Another layer of paper mache and newspaper went onto our letters.  This coming Wednesday will be the final day of paper mache when we add our last layer of plain newsprint.  Thank you so much to the parents who have been able to help us out!  This is the last week that we really need parent help for completing our paper mache.  If you are able to join us between 1.30 and 3 on Wednesday, it would be greatly appreciated!

MATHS
We have learnt a new game on our iPads.  It is called Maths Slide and can be played with 1 to 4 players.  It can be played using multiplication, division, addition, subtraction or place value.  Here are Juliet and Liam playing a game together.

THEME & BLOGGING
We have been busy posting to our blogs this week, as well.  The children have all completed a Google Slide show in which they researched a country and its culture and created their own slideshow.  Some chose to work independently and some chose to work with 1 or 2 friends.  Their slideshows, along with their Learning Intention, Success Criteria and Self-Assessment, have been posted to their blogs. Please be sure to stop by their blog and have a look and leave your own comment.  Here is one of the slideshows made by the students.

Emily's experiment

Emily brought an experiment to school to share with us.  It is called 'Oobleck' and is made with cornstarch and water.  It was fun to see how it has the properties of both a liquid and a solid.
