JINGLE BELL ROCK

Looking like little cherubs.

Jingle bell jingle bell jingle bell rock ( guitar)

Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring (swing bells)

Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun (blowing snow)

Now the jingle hop has begun (hop)

Jingle bell jingle bell jingle bell rock ( guitar)

Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time (swing bells)

Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square (horse)

In the frosty air (double wave)

What a bright time it's the right time (double wave)

To rock the night away ( push)

Jingle bell time is a swell time (swing bells)

To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh (horse)

Giddy-up jingle horse (horse)

pick up your feet (put your feet up)

Jingle around the clock (turn around)

Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet  (lick lollipop)

That's the jingle bell rock (guitar)

How The World Works - The Universe

Unit of Inquiry : How the World Works

An inquiry into the natural world and its laws; the interaction between the natural world (physical and biological) and human societies; how humans use their understanding of scientific principles; the impact of scientific and technological advances on society and on the environment.

Central Idea :
The Earth is surrounded by a vast interconnected universe that can affect our survival. 

Our Lines of Inquiry

The characteristics and positions of planets in our solar system

• How are the planets linked to others? (connection)
• What are stars, planets, galaxies and satellites (form)
• Can planets and stars change? (change)
• Has the solar system changed over time? (change)

The technology we use to explore space

• What technology is used to explore space?
• How do we use space technology here on Earth? (function)

Reasons for space travel

• Why do people travel into space? Is it worth the effort? (connection, reflection)

The Central Idea

Piecing our central idea puzzle together. A good way to engage students from the start.

We began creating mindmaps of what we knew.

Sharing our mindmaps

Modelling a class mindmap

Preparing Our Wonder Wall - Ready for the next unit....

Our Central Idea:

The Earth is surrounded by a vast interconnected universe that can affect our survival.

Before inquiring into this unit we brainstormed all we already knew about space and then developed a range of questions we were interested in finding answers to. The range of questions was amazing. The questions also give us an insight into children's current level of understanding.

Sorting our questions

IT Class

Information Technology

We have been using technology to create electronic portfolios or records of our work over time. This is an important way to develop a real need to understand various programs as well as reflect on our work.

I was making a page for the blog.

We put our photo and addedsome information about ourselves.
