Yesterday was National Holocaust Remembrance day. To mark this occasion with the link to WW2, Miss Maybury taught a fantastic lesson from the perspective of a holocaust survivor. We had to use our note taking skills which we are developing within literacy to take notes of a holocaust survivors recount during WW2. Then we created our own codes to write  a message to Isabella. Many of us choose to write Isabella messages of support telling her to stay strong and that the war would soon be over.

Well done to Bismah with her achievement at Kumon. She has been doing excellent math work in her free time at Kumon and the extra work is showing in her work in class too! Keep up the good work!

This afternoon we were learning about energy conservation and energy transformation. We have been examining how energy transfers to other sources and what its qualities are.

Today we were learning how to calculate time duration. We created our own questions to ask each other!

This afternoon we were learning all about different kinds of energy during science and how it is generated.  We were learning that energy comes in the following forms:

• electrical energy
• solar energy
• magnetic energy
• sound energy
• personal energy
• connect energy

We used our bodies to demonstrate the different ways energy moves and is created and then we worked in groups to create posters about what we have learned and then we presented them to the class.

We had a great time this afternoon working on our team building skills when we were completing the tasks set up by Miss Maybury. We spoke before we took on the challenges about what makes good team work and here are some of our suggestions:

• don’t talk over each other
• be a good listener
• be polite
• try and include everyone
• treat others the way you would want to be treated when working in a team
• communicate clearly with one another
• be positive

All of these suggestions were clearly demonstrated during the challenges.
