U2 Oil, Wonder Wall and Presentations

 Diving into my Inquiry

 When it comes to fossil fuels and what they're all about, we reflected on the things we know and the things we are still curious to find out. There was a broad range of questions stemming from our Grade 3s, so we created our next layer of bricks for the Wonder Wall and decided to research the answers to all of these.

   


    


A lot of fun during our English lessons, the Rhinos were tasked with creating some form of board or card game to play that had to be based on tenses. They planned, and planned, and planned and developed, until something came to life, something they could treasure.
Something new, and green was present downstairs, it only seemed fitting to bring it a bit of colour by means of creative expression. The Grade 3s brainstormed, voted, then crafted away making awesome festive ornaments that are now here to stay.

It was wonderful to have some of our parents come and witness their teamwork and efforts during their double English lesson. Thank you to all who could attend Open Day, it is always fantastic to see all the friendly faces.



In Mathematics, we challenged ourselves in counting, perimeter measurements, negative numbers and number lines.
To end off the week, we hung our really cool handmade ornaments on the Christmas tree!


I hope you all have a restful weekend ahead!

SWIMMING The excitement was real on Monday, the long awaited anticipation for their swimming lessons had finally arrived and our Grade 3s were bursting at the seams with enthusiasm. Their swimming coaches gave feedback on how great all our little swimmers were, good job guys! LAMENTATION Going back to 1930, the Reverential Rhinos got in touch with their emotions and feelings after watching a movement piece by Martha Graham called, Lamentation. I was super impressed with their descriptive words to explain what they felt after watching the video. THANK YOU🍬 Some spoils from Greece! We are super thankful for how thoughtful and caring our fellow classmates are, bringing back a piece of his holiday from Greece to share with us, YUMMY! 🌍🌎🌏 Pop into the STEM room and check out the Grade 3...

  My Wonder Wall Brick Learning about the natural features of the earth and what is classified as natural phenomena, the Reverential Rhino's had many interesting questions about the 'hazardous side' of nature. They took to their Wonder Wall and built it higher with questions to help get them started on their inquiry cycle.  - Do natural disaster's happen on other planets? - Could lava from a volcanic eruption cause a wild fire? - How do tornado's come about? Who said Mathematics can't be tasty!? Some excitement in class to aid us in learning about data collection, interpretation, graphs and diagrams. We used marbles - no, not the ones that roll on the ground, the ones made by Meiji that you put in your mouth - to help us sort, classify and display our recordings in the form of a chart, diagram and graph.  During English, we explored various connective words that help us join sentences together to make them understandable and more appealing. Ballet Dancers As par...
