Music - Dance

This term for music, we are working on dance. Jorja, Sakae and I made a warm up exercise. A warm up loosens joints and increases blood flow into our muscles.  Using our smart searching skills we decided to get some ideas off the internet. It was really fun and it really energized our bodies. Next time,  we need to practice our confidence. 

Distinguishing Fact From Fiction

In this activity we had to work out the true and false of a distinguishing fact from fiction. Using the information from our novel study we highlighted the true and false facts from the cold war that was happening years ago.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - Inquiry

This term our inquiry topic is reduce, reuse and recycle. We read 2 articles about why littering is bad for the environment, and that the New Zealanders are rubbish at recycling. We then made our own informed opinion about these articles. Did you know, New Zealanders throw away 3.6 million tonnes of rubbish every year. 

'ight' Word Cloud

For reading, we were working on 'ight' words. We wrote down words that end with 'ight', 'ight' in the middle of words and 'ight' at the start of the word. We then choose one super challenge and completed it. The challenge I choose was to display all my chunk words into a word cloud. This is my completed cloud.
