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.
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).
The CSIRO came to visit again and we had a great morning learning all sorts of things about Chemistry.
We were able to do many experiments to see how chemicals and substances reacted when mixed. We looked at acids and alkalines, we measured temperature changes, we made slime and mixed, observed and predicted what might happen next.
We think that we will explore Cool Chemistry further, back in class for the next few weeks. Stay tuned!
To help us learn about each other, and how we could learn together, we worked through some games and activities that promoted team work and collaboration.
We wanted to help everyone feel that they belonged to the class, and that together we could learn more, achieve more and have more fun learning.
Here are some photos of us making STARS in groups, by talking, sharing, listening and working together!
We are finally ready to start blogging for another year.
Permission notes have been returned, the interactive whiteboard has been fixed, we’ve learnt about cyber safety and all systems are …..
go
go
go!
Next we will be sorting a new theme for the year, and adding some of the things we’ve already got up to this year. We can’t wait to share our learning with all our friends around the world.
Hello everyone - well, school has started for another year and I know that we will have a great time exploring, discovering and learning together.
I am still over here in the UK - England to be specific.
It’s been a busy month for me - meeting some of our blogging friends and looking at how technology is being used in Nursery Schools (little kids), Primary Schools (like us) and Secondary Schools (high Schools). Lots of different sorts of ways of using technology creatively and excitingly. Can’t wait to get back and try some of these things out.
Have a look at what Mrs Dyer and I have been up to on these presentations made while we were visiting!
This presentation was when we visited Easter Carmuirs Primary - who ’s blog is called “Take A Look Inside” why not pop over and leave a comment on their blog?
