Happy 7th Birthday Atreyu

Thankyou Atreyu for bringing and sharing such a yummy chocolate birthday cake with the children today.

Experimenting with 2D shapes

We worked with a buddy and experimented with 2D shapes to see if we could create a tessellating pattern. We discovered to make a tessellating pattern there cannot be any gaps and it must repeat. Some shapes are tricky to tesselate and some cannot tesselate.
Which pictures below show the beginning of a tessellating
pattern?

     

 

Ethan's retelling of Grandpa's Cardigan

Super  work Ethan.  You used a lovely clear voice to retell a funny story.   Grandma really didn't like Grandpa's old cardigan did she!

Vil's Dinosaur Book

Wow...   look at the Dinosuar book Vili created using the
Book Creator app on an ipad.  
He learnt how to take photos, add text and read the text he wrote.
Great work Vili!

What is Peace?

Earlier in the term it was PEACE WEEK. We explored our senses to describe what PEACE meant to each of us. We chose the statement we liked best, then drew a picture to support it.

Meet the Toy Designers of Room 4

WOW...Room 4 children are fantastic designers!  

Today was the final day of our Inquiry learning around the theme of PUSH AND PULL.

 Everyone was successful  with the design and construction a push or pull toy.

The brief to be successful was brief....

'My toy needs to be able to move 

with a push or pull movement.'

First we drew the design, then listed the materials to use.

Next, was the construction stage and quite a lot of 'modification'. (which is what designers do!)

A BIG THANK YOU to  Amanda (Nicholas' mum), 

Malisha and Paresh (Diya's mum and dad)

  and Radee who helped us.

Also thank you to Room 3 for letting us share our toy making with you. Thank you for asking us questions how we constructed our toys.
