We have had a couple of “Jellybeans” music lessons so far this term and are really excited to be learning to play the recorder.
Recently we used charcoal pencils to sketch some aspects of our recorders. We tried to experiment by pressing softly and more firmly, using the side of the pencil and the tip of the pencil as well.
Here are our finished sketches …..

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.
