Nicole is new to our school this term. She has settled in really well to our grade and has made lots of friends. Nicole is trying really hard to improve her work and likes to do extra work at home. She has achieved her goal this term of improving her handwriting.
Congratulations Nicole and keep up the good work.

PROCEDURES

Our new writing topic is Procedures. We have been learning that a procedure gives us instructions on how to make, do, design and create something. We have written our own procedures on something we are an expert on such as cleaning our teeth or getting ready for school. This week we wrote a procedure on how to ice and decorate biscuits. We then made our own and ate them. YUM!!!!

SWIMMING

Well it has been an exciting and busy 2 weeks with our grade going swimming everyday. Everyone was organised each day and eventhough the weather wasn't great we still enjoyed our lessons. We learned how to swim freestyle, backstoke, tread water and dive in safely. There was even some of us that were practising swimming the length of the pool. The final day was the best because we got to play games and have fun!

STUDENT OF THE WEEK

It is great to have Ryan back this term. He is a hard working student who has settled back into our routine very quickly. He loves reading non-fiction books and is asking questions to deepen his knowledge of the text. Ryan loves maths and is a regular contributor during problem solving activities. Congratulations Ryan.

SYMMETRY

Last week in maths we investigated Symmetry. First we folded paper in half and cut out shapes and when we opened up the shapes the designs were symmetrical. Next we worked with a partner to create a shape using 2 rectangles and 2 triangles. We then pasted all our shapes on and looked to see if any of the shapes were the same. We found out that some shapes were the same but just transformed either by flipping, turning or sliding the shape. Today we used the same triangle shape but tried flipping, sliding and turning the shape to create a different position for our shape.
