Epic Earthquakes and Super Tsunami’s

‘Top of the morning’ to all you bloggers!

This is our second post and we are going to tell you a bit about our learning. Our topic is ‘Extreme Earth’ and it is extremely excellent!! In this topic we learn all about the natural disasters of earth. We also learn how vicious volcanoes appear. It is so cool being able to  learn how it all starts.

Miss Paterson set us a task that was so good, I could just eat it… we did eat it!! Our task was to cut open a mars bar and compared it to the earth’s materials. We discovered that the earth has layers just like the yummy goodness of a Mars Bar.

We also learned recently that the earth is just like a puzzle and the tectonic plates move around very slowly and sometimes can cause earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains.

Thats all from super 6C, keep waiting for more!!

Fairwell, toodle doo, in a while crocodile, adios amigos, ciao, bon voyage, see you later alligator, haste ye back!!

New ‘Kidz’ On The Blog

‘Howdy’ from Primary 6C at Holy Cross Primary. This is our new blog, hope it is a good one! We are really looking forward to blogging about our year, it will be fun! I bet you wish you were in this class …Imagine the best place in the world, it would be here in P6C.

Our class is out of this world… We have 10 super boys and 15 amazing girls. We have 6 groups and our group names are ‘ Movie Making Sheep-Dogs’, ‘Swimming Rose-Gold Cars’, ‘ The Little Dog Gamers’, ‘The Chocolate Marshmallow Gods’, ‘Minion Pigs V Elvis’ and ‘The Mega Dogs’. We had to create group names by seeing what we had in common. This is why they are so wacky!

We want to blog because it will be fun and we can share our learning with you. We can take lots of pictures and videos and you can comment on our fun learning.

We hope you enjoyed our first blog and remember to check it out every week! We will nail this year.

P6C and Miss Paterson.
