WATCHING SEEDS GROW

Today we performed an experiment. We learnt that sometimes experiments don't always give us an answer straight away. Sometimes we have to wait!!

We planted grass seeds in three different cups.
In Cup 1, we are going to give the grass seeds sunlight and water.
In Cup 2, we are going to give the grass seeds water but NO sunlight. 

In Cup 3, we are going to give the grass seeds sunlight but NO water. 

We are wondering what you think is going to happen to the seeds in each cup?

We made our own predictions and every day we are going to look at our cups to see if there are any differences. 

We can't wait to see what happens!
Please tell us what you think is going to happen!

Here is a belated review of our Immersion Day for our Inquiry unit this term. We had so much fun exploring the four seasons, weather patterns and maps. Throughout the immersion, we asked wondering questions and discussed what we already knew about the seasons.
After exploring the different seasons, what is your favourite season and why?

ANZAC DAY

Today we spent some time remembering all the men and women who have participated in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations around the world, including the ANZACs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps)who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. Tomorrow will be 100 years since the ANZACs landed at Gallipoli. 

We made a poppy each and added it to our Prep A class wreath. 
We also made a poppy in Art and added it to our garden. 

Today, we also took part in an ANZAC day ceremony with the rest of our school community. 

I wonder if your family does anything special on ANZAC day, or what ANZAC day means to you? 

Testing Our Senses

Lego Jar

How many pieces of Lego in the Lego jar?

This week, we will be estimating how many pieces of Lego there are in the jar. Every day I will give you another clue to help you guess how many pieces there are.
Today, we don't have a clue... We are each going to have a look at the jar and guess how many pieces there are. You have to tell me WHY you think there are that many!!

This Term, our Inquiry Unit is "What a Wonderful World."

We will be exploring the world around us using our 5 Senses.

This week we will be investigating our 5 senses, what they are and how we use them.

Tell us what you know about the 5 senses and what you use them for!

Term 2 Value... HOSPITALITY

This Term's value is Hospitality...

Have a look at the video and tell us how you can be a person who shows the value of Hospitality.
We will be sharing these responses later this week to see how you display this value in your family or community.
