Term 2 Week 1 and 2

Welcome to Term 2!

The children have come back refreshed and raring to go.  This term we will be learning about our wonderful world.

We have been learning about the letter 'i'.  It makes the 'i' as in itch sound.

We covered our i's with ink and blew it with straws.

We made indian hats....

 

and became Indians for a day.

This term we will be having computer lessons in the library.  By the end of this term Miss R expects us to be able to log on to the computers using our username and password by ourselves.

 

We went on a walk through the school to find living and non living things.  Living things need food and water and they grow.  Non living things don't need food and water and usually don't grow.

 

                                     

 

We used an app called pic collage to create a poster of living or non living things.  It was great fun to pinch the pictures and watch them grow and shrink.  We could also move them around to wherever we wanted them to go. We used the pictures we took around the school.  Stay tuned to see some of our posters.

We also created a living and non living poster by cutting pictures out of magazines.

 

 

After reading the story of creation from the Bible and watching a video we decided to create our own video of how the world was created.  We are up to the part where God created creatures so some of us made animal masks we could wear in our video.

Our buddies came to visit us this afternoon.  We had to collect a certain number of objects such as leaves or honky nuts in the playground.  When we had the right number we got to tell our buddy how many they had to collect.  Thanks for coming Year 5's.

Here are some general photos of the children at work and play.  Some of these photos were taken because the children were proud of their work and wanted to share it.  Enjoy.
