Bush Fire

In writing this week we were learning to describe. We decided to link our writing with our natural disaster topic and describe a bush fire. 

Here are some of the students story lines. 

Problem Solving with our buddy class!

Today we tried to solve the school news letter problem. 

The students had 16 matchsticks making 5 squares, they were only allowed to move two matchsticks to make it into four squares. They done a fantastic job and all groups managed to solve the problem together. 

Swimming Week 1!!

We have had a fantastic week in the pool! We have all learnt something new and our confidence in the water is growing. The students are having so much fun and everyday all they want to do is swim! 

We can't wait to see what we do next week.

The Raving Researchers

This term Room 19 have been asked to become researchers to help find information on natural disasters.

Room 19 children decided that their researcher name would be the Raving Researchers. 

Room 19 has chosen to look into bush fires. Here is the beginning of our research. This shows what we already know about bush fires and what we would like to find out.

We have talked about how we could find this information out and the students decided that we could use documentaries, books and the internet to help us.

Last Friday it was our turn to perform an assembly with our buddy class. 

Our focus was on individuality and our unique personalities. Here are a few videos of our assembly I hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed performing.
