Technology is our focus curriculum area for next term. Here is a little taster of what it could involve.

A beautiful animation. Very clever.

Yippee, it’s homework time again.

Jasmine congratulations, you blew your homework the farthest out of the water last week. Stunning.

Please take some time to read the stunning homework sentences on the wall in the book nook, also check out how they have been illustrated. These will be added to during the rest of the term.

Ag Day is fast approaching. This year Rooms One and Two are focusing on the science side of Ag Day. We will be completing either a research project based on an agricultural or horticultural product or else a science project where you can demonstrate your practical understanding of science in agriculture or horticulture. Already you have put a lot of thinking and planning time into your topic.

So, for homework you will be gathering information, making lists of things you need to collect at school for your experiment/s, talking to experts AND finding a large cardboard box which will be your display board. The criteria for judging these are on the back of this homework sheet.

Let’s continue with finding ‘sensational sentences’ from what you are reading, and then writing your own. Topics for writing this fortnight are: Morning, Sleep, and School.

I still need to see the titles of what you are reading, the newspaper, magazines, dictionary and books are all reading material. Jot their titles down as well as your opinion of them.

Your new spelling words will need to be defined and your 6 times tables practiced.

Enjoy!

Mikayla's simple and effective description of 'evening'

"As the sun sets on Katikati out comes the HOMEWORK. Then the nagging begins, "Focus, focus, focus!"
"Mmmmm, what's that delicious thing cooking in the oven?"

What scientific thinking made these bubbles work so well?
