Welcome to Week 9!
English
Students have worked hard this week examining how the suffixes ‘ing’ and ‘ed’ can be added to words and how it changes the meaning of a word. During book making, students completed their non-fiction texts adding a glossary and illustrations. Our new spotlight study for Writer’s Workshop will be investigating ‘How To’ books (Procedural texts). Watch this space to see some of our very own procedural writing.
Science
This week we continued our learning on FORCES. We observed toys from the past and how they move. We then had a go at making our own ball and cup toy. Here we are investigating how our toys work.
Technologies- This week, the students tested their bridges. The challenge was that the troll had to fit underneath it and it had to be strong enough top hold 3 billy goats. They then evaluated their design, explaining what they would do if they could make their bridge again.
HASS – Olympics
We watched a video which explained Sportsmanship
