As we come to the end of our unit we are starting to think about and reflect on some of the things we have found out during our investigations.

We have put together this slide show of our thoughts so far …..

What do you think?

Over the past few weeks we have been working on our own “Big Beliefs Project”. We have been finding out about the different beliefs and religions people in our class and our community have.

We have found out many interesting things about religions, and the different ways that diffent people worship in their religion.

To try and keep track of the information we are finding, we have constructed  tables to put our info in. Each group had to come up with their own table/grid and the topics/ headings that they would be finding out about.

In this slide show you can see us working together to come up with our tables/grids. We are having lots of fun sharing our ideas, listening to each other and encouraging everyone’s ideas and thoughts.

 

You can see what else we’ve been up to on our DET trial blog right here!

We tested our brains,

asked questions,

solved problems,

explained answers,

tried new ways of doing things and

gave reasons!

All on World Math Day (which was a couple of weeks ago!)

We worked on computers,

used the iwb,

played games,

used rulers  to design and draw,

made models,

and wrote clues to a treasure.

Whew! Maths is everywhere, everything and lots more than just worksheets and correct answers.

We think Maths is fun too :-)

Despite the heavens opening and almost washing us all away, we had a visit from Natalie from the Waste Watchers team. Natalie was an expert “Water Watcher” and we spent the afternoon ……. 

Revising what we knew about the water cycle:

  

Talking about how to save water at home:

 

And sharing suggestions for conserving water:

 

There was time to talk, to listen, to think, to answer questions, to ask questions, and to come up with great ways or reducing, re-using, and recycling water.

Sitting in the dark…

Squashed up by the windows…

Reading by the light from outside…

 

 What’s going on?

 NOT THE LIGHT!

 NOT the Computer!

 NOT the IWB!

 

It’s Earth Hour!

 

Earth hour is a time where all electricital appliances are turned off to conserve electricity for 1 hour.

Globally, Earth Hour will be held 8:30 pm - 9:30 pm on Saturday night, but we wanted our school to participate so we are having earth hour this morning.

 Earth Hour has made us think about:

  • How we can save electricity
  • How we can be in the future
  • How it was in the past
  • How it can help the future
  • Global warming
  • Sleeping!!!

 

Don’t forget if we use too much electricity we could be back in the DARK AGES!!!!!!!-(boom tish).

This is the title of our November task on Voices of the World. We had to put together a PowerPoint presentation to illustrate this saying.

The AllStars love participating in VOTW because

  • it’s fun!
  • we get to use lots of new technologies
  • we can think up creative ways to show what we are learning
  • we get to think about different ways of showing what we are doing - like photos, drawings, animations, collage, art, computers
  • we share our ideas and thoughts and suggestions
  • everyone has a part to play
  • we get to see how others do the task
  • we get great new ideas from other schools

Have a look at this month’s task!
