Another week down in 1SA and 1EJ. Creativity has been on display this week with the completion of our uniquely designed toys and games. Inspired by our work on forces during Science, students made a variety of toys that explore different ways to make things move! To celebrate this learning, students also worked on an oral presentation to show their toy to the class. We practised the following instructions for public speaking.

All students across the school took part in the ‘Crazy Hat Competition’ to celebrate this years reading theme of hats off to reading. Congratulations to Yom in our class for being chosen as the winner for students from ELC-Year 2. All students showed off their artistic skills and creativity when designing their crazy hats.

In Maths this week, we have started a new topic looking at data and statistics. The children started off the new topic by exploring that skittles can contain data as long as we have  question that we are trying to solve. We posed the question of ‘which colour skittle we had the most of in each packet’. The children created tallies for each colour and then showcased their results in a graph. We are looking forward to investigating data more next week!

We have been working hard in Science on our arcade games. The students enjoyed designing, planning and creating their game. They were also given time to play their game with their peers.
You may have noticed the students bringing home their games this week. Have a look at our finished products.

We have begun our Design and technology focus which will continue over the next few weeks. Students will practice joining, folding, and measuring techniques to make unique Christmas decorations. Today we designed and made a shrinky keyring.
