We made cup telephones, using cups and string! We loved listening to each other through the cups!
This month we have been learning about how to write a good procedure. We wrote an account explaining how to make cup telephones.

This month we have enjoyed creating colourful jellyfish using bubble-wrap and paper plates. We started by painting both and then we attached the bubble-wrap to the back of the paper plates. Finally we stuck on the eyes. It was lots of fun!
This term we are focusing on report writing. Our first report is all about Jellyfish. We learned some interesting facts and enjoyed learning about these sea creatures. These are on display outside our classroom.

We sowed coriander, parsley, chives and basil plant seeds in our classroom. Over the next three weeks we will observe these plants in our classroom. We are excited to see what happens!

We investigated air resistance on different sized parachutes. Our parachutes were made using plastic, string and clothes pegs. We discussed the best way to launch our parachute. The bigger parachute had the most air resistance because it was larger so it fell to the ground slowest.

As part of the friends for life program, we are learning ways to help us relax and have quiet time. We practised 'milkshake breathing' by using a straw to blow out gently in water. This helps us feel relaxed and we will remember this for situations where we need to feel calm.
We really enjoyed our class novel 'Bill's New Frock'. It begins with Bill waking one morning to find he is a girl. We had interesting class discussions and enjoyed getting in role as the characters from the book.
This term we are focusing on recount writing. We have been learning about the Titanic using books and the internet to research. The facts we learn will help us write a recount to share with others.

History
We have been learning about toys and games in the past. Some toys our parents had, such as Monopoly and a Yo-Yo, we still use nowadays. We were surprised that a Barbie doll first came out almost 60 years ago! Check out our Timeline of Toys from the Past and Present, which is displayed in out classroom.

English Writing
We have been researching animals using the internet and books. It’s so interesting to get to research a topic and find out facts. We really enjoy putting these facts together, writing reports and reading them to the class. We especially enjoyed writing a report about tigers! |

Maths
In maths, we have been learning about data. We researched the birthdays and eye colour of the students in our class. March is the most popular birthday month and most people in our class have brown eyes! Check out the barcharts of this information on display in our classroom. On Fridays, we have been playing maths games and doing operation transformation. Maths is fun! |

Art
We have been sketching portraits. We created portraits in the style of Pablo Picasso. He was a Spanish artist who enjoyed creating abstract portraits. You can see our pictures on display outside our classroom. We also loved making our Mayan Worry Dolls! |

SPHE
We are learning about food and nutrition. The food pyramid helps us learn how to have a balanced diet. Fruit and vegetables are full of vitamins, so we are going to try our best to eat more of these to stay healthy! |
