Tuning in!

On Monday we were very lucky to be invited to the Grade 2's exhibition under the knowledge centre. They had just finished their very creative projects where they had inquired into something that had changed over time. We all had a great talking with the Grade 2's and learning lots of new and interesting things. It was also a great start to our new unit of inquiry where we are also inquiring into how we have changed over time. 

We started our new Unit of Inquiry this week - Where we are in Place and Time 'Personal Histories'. We spent this week looking at our central idea, unpacking the keywords, looking at the language this unit will have us using and discussing and many tuning in activities.

We organised pictures into past, present and future:

We read key phrases and organised them on a timeline from past, present and future:

We unpacked our central idea and looked at the keywords:

Buddies

Of course our highlight of the week is hanging with our Grade 4 buddies. This week our buddies shared with us the fables that they have been creating. They have written scripts and are either: making a movie with the green screen, creating a puppet show, or writing a comic strip. We can't wait to see the finished products.

Mother Language Day

On Thursday afternoon we celebrated UN International Mother Language Day across the whole school. We were buddies with Grade 10 students and we had a whole lot of fun doing a scavenger hunt and being entertained in the black box with performances in many different languages.

Sadly we are saying goodbye to two of our classmates in March. They were very brave and went up on the raft to say their early goodbyes! We will miss you but so excited for your next adventure!
