Hero Parade

As an Immersion activity, we dressed up as a hero. We then used pic collage to explain who we were and why we chose this character.

Heroes and Heroines

Our concept for Term 3 is Heroes and Heroines.
We are learning that ordinary people become heroes through performing extraordinary actions for others.

Science Explanations

After we had demonstrated our experiments to the class, we used pic collage to explain what we did, the items we needed for our experiment, what happened and the scientific reason why this occurred. If you hover your mouse on each explanation, it will stay on that piece of work so that you can read it.
Please enjoy reading our explanations.

Drains to Harbour

Camilia came in to Room 20 to talk about The Drains to Harbour programme. As part of change we were looking at what changes occur during the water cycle. We then looked at man's impact on our world and how it effects the water creatures. We then tested our stream to see whether it was healthy.
Unfortunately, the only life we found were damselfly larvae which can survive in harsh conditions. The question we needed to ask is so what? What can we do to improve the conditions for life in our stream and hopefully get eels and fish back into our stream.

Science Experiments

Last term we had to demonstrate an experiment to the class that explored change. We had to research an experiment, practise it at home, bring everything we needed, and show the class. It was also important that we explain the change that occured and give the scientific reason why. A lot of the changes we explored were caused because of a chemical reaction. Some reactions were caused because of temperature, or two chemicals that don't like to mix with each other. Some chemicals created other chemicals when mixed together.

Autumn

For writing, we wrote a haiku about autumn leaves. A haiku is a Japanese poem that has 3 lines. The first line has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables, and the third line has 5 syllables.
We used an iPad app called visual poet to publish our haikus.
