From the Classrooms

In 1/2C science, we have spent a lot of time observing different materials and how they can be manipulated. We have been thinkers, collaborators and researchers!

We had lots of fun exploring how we can physically change materials by squeezing, pulling, twisting, ripping and folding, as well as what we can do to make them stronger and how they can be weakened. We also looked at chemical changes and how these effect different materials.

Some of the activities we have enjoyed have been; making paper planes, making ball runs out of playdough, weaving baskets, designing boats that are required to float and recycling old crayons to make new ones.

What a fantastic Term 1 and start to Term 2 it's been for Grade 3/4 C! Here are some of our standout moments:

• We celebrated Harmony Day and had a blast at the Colour Run.
• Embraced Seesaw for learning and perfected persuasive writing.
• Read and enjoyed Gangsta Granny by David Walliams
• Explored the significance of poppies for Anzac Day, creating our own artwork.
• Dived into a mini inquiry "How can we be scientists?" followed by creating "Mad Scientist" art with enthusiasm.

We have enjoyed 2024 so far and can't wait for more exciting adventures ahead! Here are some of our artwork to share with you.
