Science

Over the past couple of weeks room 3, 4, and 5 have been switching classrooms for science. The first day room 3 made a circuit with two batteries, a battery holder, and two wires. The children had to be in partners, it was so much fun. The week after that they went to Miss McDonald's class, Miss Miles was in there though, and they put out fire without water or fire extinguishes, it was pretty amazing. They tipped the gas close to the candle without putting anything on the fire and it just blew out. All of the kids got a turn though, Miss Miles showed us how to do it at first and then they got it.

Rugby world cup

For topic we are focusing on rugby world cup and the teams that participate in it. We are not allowed to do Australia or New Zealand so we do not know much about our countries we are studying. We have had to research lots and we have done fact files showing things like the population of the country and the area of the country for example Italy is 301,340 square kilometers, the area of water is 7,200 square kilometers, and the area of land is 294,140 square kilometers. I am doing Italy with Brayden.

Religous Education

For R.E we are making posters about famous people in the early church.Some examples are Lydia, Phoebe, Saint Stephen, Aquila and Priscilla [Aquila and Priscilla are married] there is Saint Paul and Saint Peter. Lydia is a purple dye maker and gives it to people who would like it. Phoebe is a missionary to her people. Saint Stephen was the first martyr, Aquila he is like a priest, Priscilla is a teacher, Peter and Paul are diciples of Jesus and Peter was the first pope.

Science Fair

On Thursday, the children shared their Science Investigations with the school community. In the morning we had many parents come and visit the children from the A team and from 11 o'clock the children from the M and J team came to explore science. I have already heard comments from the M team about what they will be doing for their science investigations.

Well done to all the children.

Over the past five weeks Room 3 has had the pleasure of having Miss Hawker in the class. Over the past three weeks she has taught the class.
On Firday the children hosted a shared lunch for Miss Hawker and she also received an ALLSTAR certificate at the school assembly. She was very embarassed.

We wish Miss Hawker all the best in her future studies. 
FAREWELL MISS HAWKER.

The children are amazed how much food Miss Hawker can fit in her mouth.

Drama with Miss Hawker

This week was Miss Hawker's final week. The children were very busy with completing their science invesitgations. I was pleaseed with the effort all children had during the week and they were all determined to complete their work to a high standard. The focus the children had during the week was impressive.

When the children had some downtime, not much, they did some drama skills with Miss Hawker. The children showed that some could be winning an Oscar in the coming years and others will be comedians.
