Materials Movies

We have been using Windows movie maker to show the materials we found on our walk the other day.  We were looking at natural and man-made materials in our environment.

Here are all 22 movies!

Making a lava lamp

We had a great Science Day today.  Everyone went to different teachers to do different activities.  Those who came to my group made lava lamps (or bubbles in a bottle).  We might try this in class on Friday, but you will need to bring another small bottle in!

When all of the photos have been taken off the cameras, I will put some on the blog to share.

Resources tab

I have put a resources tab at the top where you can find some resources for our Environment topic.  
There is also a folder with some English resources too that Miss. Soo has done.
Happy learning!

A fantastic video of settings

Watch this youtube video of landscapes in Arizon and Utah (USA).  
What sentences would you write to describe some of the settings?

Don't be a bystander!

This week is anti-bullying week and today we are all dressed in blue.

Our assembly was all about what happens when people are bullied.  We have been talking about what a 'by-stander' is and what we can do to help if someone is being bullied.

Katelyne made this fantastic poster and brought it in this morning to share with everyone.  

These are just some of the good things we notice about what we and other people do.

What are you going to do today to be kind?

Descriptive settings

We have been writing some super sentences to see how descriptive we can be with describing a setting.
We all had different photos, so our sentences will be different.

Materials movie

We have been playing with Windows Movie maker.  Here is what John, Orion and Jeremy L have done so far.  It's not finished yet!

Mapping games

Today in ICT, we played a game to learn about making maps.  This is the game we played:

If you enjoyed playing this game, you could also try the one - it's a bit harder though as you have to earn money before you can build things!

Happy building!
