Skin Surprise
Jaxson bought in the skin from his pet snake. The snake had out grown it and shedded it. You could even make out where the eyes had been!
Jaxson – I liked bringing my snake skin in.
Dance – Hip Hop
We watched a video in the hall and copied the moves. Some of us really excelled at this. Afterwards we had time to choreograph our own Hip Hop dance routine in groups and we could perform this to the whole class if we were brave enough!
Judo
We had a judo taster session – it was great fun! We played some fabulous warm up games and then learnt how to throw people. Finally, we practised pinning people on the mat!
G- The warm up games were fun!
Hope – I liked throwing people to the ground.
Kyle – When I was pinning other people to the ground no-one could get up!
Leo – I liked getting thrown!
Bella – When I was pinning Bailey he escaped! I liked throwing people across the mat.
Cameron – Piotr was good at pinning people.
Topic
We applied what we had learnt about vertebrates in a fun game of 4 in a row. Then we carried on researching life-cycles of various creatures.
Writing
We continued our information reports about natural disasters.
Reading
In group reading we read a section of our books and then practised asking open-ended questions about what we had read.
Numeracy
We practised using mental and formal methods when multiplying decimals.
We also practised dividing with and without remainders.
E – I liked learning about division.
Health
During our visit from Mark, from Headspace, we talked about change. Mrs Stewart sat in as well!
Joel – We had to sit in different seats, wear some clothes inside out – including our shoes. This was in order to experiment with our ‘normal.’
