We learned to add ‘s’ to words to make them mean more than one, and we learned the ‘ar’ sound like in the word star. We also learned that persuasive writing is used to convince others, and we learned to use persuasive words like “I think” and “You should.” We wrote a persuasive text on ‘Pick up your Rubbish’ in our learning journals and added a picture.

 

In Religion, we learned that Christians are people who believe in Jesus and follow his example. We listened to Gospel stories and shared how Jesus showed love to others. We watched the video “Jesus loves everyone” and wrote a sentence using “Jesus showed love when he…”. We also illustrated our sentences in our learning journals to show why we should follow Jesus’ example.

 

This week in Maths, we have been learning about capacity. The students have been using informal units like sand, blocks, and water to measure and compare how much different containers can hold. They enjoyed ordering the containers from smallest to largest capacity through hands-on activities!

In Technologies, we tested our boats to see if they could float with the Gingerbread Man inside for one minute. We learned which boats were strong and could stay floating. We were very excited to discover that all of our boats floated!
