Term 1 Reflection

What a fantastic term! Thank you so much for all of your hard work. 

We have a lot of exciting things happening in Term 2. Enjoy your holidays!

Antarctic Food Webs

This week we worked in groups to research who eats who in Antarctica. We then created our own Antarctic Food Web based on our findings. Here's what we came up with!

Antarctic Explorer Diaries

As part of our Antarctic Explorer Task, we wrote diary entries from the point of view of an explorer. Everyone did such a fantastic job, check them out - they turned out great!

These are entries from Jack's Shackleton journal. Great work Jack!

Well done everyone! You did a fantastic job of writing from the perspective of an Antarctic explorer!

Global Warming & the Greenhouse Effect

We've been busy investigating Global Warming and the Greenhouse Effect. Part of the task was to create a flow chart showing causes and effects. Check out Eva's great work created in Mind Mash!

We also made posters to encourage people to think about Global Warming. 

Here's what Will & Amelia came up with!

Week 9 Reflection

It's been a great week! We've been busy learning about measurement in Maths and completed our weather task. This week we also farewell Miss F, our student teacher. Thanks for all of your hard work over the past 3 weeks, we hope you enjoyed teaching us!

'3 weeks have gone so fast and it is time for Miss F to go back to University :( I have had an awesome time in 6A learning all about Antarctica, making dream catchers during Harmony Day, estimating, measuring and converting lengths and working our way through the Weather Task! I am very sad to leave but maybe I will be back one day! I hope you all have a fantastic rest of the year with Miss Affleck!' - Miss F 

Did you enjoy watch the iBrainstorm Show at Sunshine Ave?

I hope you all have a relaxing Easter weekend with your family. See you Tuesday!

Baleen & Toothed Whales!

We worked in inquiry groups to research the similarities and differences between toothed and baleen whales. We used Notability to organise our research and presented our findings in a range of ways using Art Set, iMovie, Pic Collage, Explain Everything and Visualize. Here's a snapshot of what we came up with!

Week 8 Reflection

We've had a fantastic week - the highlight was definitely Harmony Day!

We were lucky enough to be involved in a range of activities including craft, cooking, art, martial arts, and dancing! We also got to listen to Cartsen and Mrs O'Keefe give us an insight into what it was like growing up in Germany and Russia. It's amazing how different school can be in different countries!

Thanks to Miss Hassell for organising such an amazing event!

What was your favourite Harmony Day activity and why?

Measurement

We've been investigating how to measure and convert Length, Capacity and Mass. 

In maths groups we estimated and measured length.

Shayna used Notability to record her measurements.

Jack created these Converting Measurements posters using Visualize.

Killer Whales

Check out these fantastic Killer Whale artworks created in Miss F's lesson using ArtSet.

Great work Jess, Will & Neta!
