SCIENCE - Hibernation

This week we researched the answer to Sophie's question, "What is hibernation?" We watched a PowerPoint to learn more information. We also discussed how this PowerPoint was made in America, so the winter months mentioned on the slide are different to ours.   The PowerPoint has been made into a movie for our blog - just press pause to read the slides.  Thanks for the great science idea Sophie!

ELECTIVES HAVE STARTED!

Electives have started in the Middle Team.  This term the children are participating in 'Construction', 'Woolly Workers', '3D Art', 'Animal Art and Craft', 'Tie-dying' and S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths).  Thomas, Leo, Gabe and Archie worked extra hard in their S.T.E.M. Elective and shared the house they had made with the class.

PRESENTING A PLAY

Today the 'Super Dogs' reading group shared their play 'Snow White and the Hex Factor' with us.  They have been practising this week with our College Teacher, Miss Bolger.

MUSIC & DRAMA LESSONS WITH OUR COLLEGE TEACHERS

This week our College Teachers Mr Basford and Miss Bolger are teaching us music and drama lessons.  We are enjoying learning new things!

CHARACTER VALUE OF THE TERM - Compassion

We have been learning about 'Compassion' in Room 11.  We each made a lamp with a special saying:

"If you light a lamp for someone,
it will also brighten your own path".

We talked about how it feels good to help others in need.

SCIENCE - It worked!

Today we looked at our celery experiment and it worked!  The celery had absorbed the coloured water.  The red and blue ones worked the best!

WACKY HAIR DAY

Today was 'Wacky Hair Day'.  There were lots of very creative hairstyles in Room 11 today.  Thank you to everyone who bought along their grocery item for the PTA Quiz Night hampers.
