Awesome Group work!

Michelle, Amy, Ashley and Lucinda worked so well in their Inquiry group this afternoon that we just had to share it with the world. Their focus invention was glasses. They discovered that glasses were invented in 1784 by Benjamin Franklin and are still used today to help people read, write and see. Great work guys!

Xavier whizzing us away with his work on fractions!!

Today Xavier really impressed us in Mathematics! Not only did he choose to challenge himself by selecting a complex task (which involved finding different factions of 2 to 3 digit numbers) but he also worked to solve these problems without using a calculator. Wow! 

 

 

ANZAC DAY

Wishing everyone and safe and happy extra long  weekend.  We remind all families that there will be no school on Monday or Tuesday next week. 

Let us not forget what ANZAC Day is all about and remember to commemorate and thank all the Diggers along with our Service Personal for what they have done and what they continue to do. 

"At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we shall remember them. Lest we forget"

 

Super Siobhan!!

Wow! What an outstanding effort by Siobhan! She worked really hard today to use skills learnt from the writing workshop to edit her work. Well done!

Random Acts of Kindness

In our Wellbeing lesson today, we talked about things which we can do to make others feel valued and happy. Actions like donating money or clothing to charity can positively change a person's life. We can also do lots of things on a daily basis to make sure people around us feel special like helping our parents with household chores, spending time with our grandparents or giving our siblings a hand with a difficult task.

We watched a funny video about a random act of kindness and the link it provided below.
What was the last act of kindness which you have done for somebody else? :)

Term 2 Week 1

Well done to our Week 1 Stars of the Week!

Julian, Liv and Oliver should be proud of their efforts last week.  

Brilliant Billy Carts

As part of our immersion for inquiry the whole of Year 3/4 was treated to play with and build Billy Carts today. 

 

We got to design our very own billy carts and use the materials you would use to make a billy cart to build something of our own creation. We also had the opportunity to drive a billy cart. 

When we were building the Billy Cart we had to split up in to two groups and have a race to see who could build the cart the quickest and who could dismantle it the neatest as well.  There was a procedure to follow and at times it was tricky!!  The quickest time  to build the billy cart was 4 minutes and 1 second.

Check out some of our memories from the day! 

What did today make you wonder about inventing?

Colour in Fractions

Today we learnt:

1) The numerator is the top number and tells us what to shade and the denominator is the bottom and tells us how many to cut the whole into. 

2) How to order numbers on a number line 

3) How to split fractions and find equivalent fractions 

Way to go Samuel!!

Samuel has worked really hard over the last two days to use lots of descriptive language. 3/4 C liked how he used sounds like 'brrrr' and 'mmmmm' to enhance his descriptions. He also used similes really well! Well done Samuel!! 

Michael Mangan

Wow! We were all blown away by Michael Mangan's performance today. We learnt some new songs and enjoyed singing some old favourites.

Here's our wordless describing the experience. How would you describe the performance?

Wow- Go Liv!

Today Liv wrote a wonderful description about the beach. She included lots of powerful descriptive language eg shivered and tingled. She also included similes within her work. Well done!
