Lung Experiment

After a session in the pool looking at lifesaving techniques we investigated how to replace water with air in a jar. We also estimated and then measured the capacity of our lungs using a measuring jar.

Story Map

We created a story maps which are visual representations of the key events which occur in a known story. It is a good way to strengthen recall of important events.

Grid Drawing

We took simple pictures and enlarged them using a rectangular grid. This activity uses knowledge of fractions and proportion to be successful.

Interesting and Boring Suffixes

Learning the suffixing rules in English can sometimes be tricky. We have learnt to investigate the patterns which occur in English and in particular looked at the doubling pattern. We will soon be using a flowchart to further embed this knowledge.

We sorted words according to how they were spelled.

Book Week

Ibu Maya, Ibu Miharu and Ibu Annie came in to read to us during Book week. We had fun hearing stories in other languages and seeing that there are patterns in many stories.
