Science Fair

 We are learning how to conduct proper science experiments and then record what we did and what we noticed. We could investigate any area of science we wanted

I chose to do density

Here is my work about density

Mini beasts

 Another thing we did for writing this week was a mini beast observation. First, you had to go out into your backyard and find a mini beast, then you had to bring it inside and describe it. I chose to describe a cheeky cat.

Here is my work.

Insect art

Because we were using ‘Insects’ as a topic this week for reading and writing we created some

works of art based on insects also. We had to make them out of any materials we could find at

home. I chose to use: Paper, pipe cleaners, cats crackers and metals things.

Here is a photo of my creation: Ant

 

Expanded numerals

This week one thing we have been  learning in maths is how to write expanded numbers. Another way of saying this is ‘expanded form’ or ‘expanded notation’. They all mean the same thing. It’s like you have to break the numbers up into their place value parts and then put + symbols in between them.

Example: 7239 =7000+200+30+9.

Another thing we have been learning in maths is how to solve word problems involving combinations of things. You had to be able to write addition equations showing as many different   combinations as we could.

Here is my work.

Play make create

  In Week 3 of Term 3, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation.  This week Mrs Craig Read the book: the smartest Giant in Town by Julia Donaldson.

  It was about being kind.
