Hello from Hudson and Noah - Week 9 learning Term 2

Kaya,

This blog has been expertly created by Hudson Morris and Noah Brice, and I am sure you will agree that they have done a wonderful job. 

We are in the Wadandi, Makuru season that symbolizes Storms, rain/water and cold weather. It is the season of fertility.

Funny fact: 

Did you know Tiegs brother Finn got stuck down the side of a trampoline when he was 6 years old?

Learning from week 9 of Term 2:

Writing:

In writing this week we are doing our information reports about a south west animal of our choice. For example, I am doing the kookaburra for my south west animal for our information report. Noah is doing a quoka for his informative text on a south west animal.

Spelling:

This week we are focusing 😎 were doing our sound waves sheet and the sound for this week is [ir] for bird. The segmenting sheet is another thing for spelling.

Health:

This week in health we looked at friendships. We looked at how our friendships have changed from Year 1 to Year 6 and what our expectations are now for forming healthy relationships moving forward. We also looked at famous quotes about friendships and worked in groups to rewrite these quotes in our own words. See the awesome collaboration skills below. 

Sport:

We got lucky with the sun twice this week thankfully. Our first sunny day was on Thursday for Cross Country and the second sunny day was when we wanted to use our solar ovens and host a sport lesson. Ellie, Cielo and Prada ran a great sport lesson on Friday. We got to play golden child! The girls successfully divided the class, talked about the rules and watched over the game. Everyone took part despite being exhausted from Cross Country - well done guys! 😀🌞

Technologies:

SMORES! SMORES! SMORES! 

We did it! We finally got to test out our solar ovens. Well done to all the students on their hard work over the last few weeks and thank you to the parents for assisting in collecting the materials. Most solar ovens were successful despite it being Makuru, the wettest and coldest time of the year. Here are some of the amazing designs that cooked delicious s’mores. On Friday between recess and lunch, we were blessed with sunshine and thus able to put out our solar ovens...we were happy to report back that most of us had melted chocolate and some of us (depending on our design) soggy marshmallows too. YUM YUM!!
