We began the week with news from the holidays. Many humorous and delightful recounts were told by the children for all to enjoy.
Our inquiry project this term is on habitats. We started our wonderings about the ocean and marine habitats, then deepened this by looking at the different classifications of habitats. We went on a bug hunt around our school with our buddies and compared habitats of creatures found in natural garden areas to habitats of creatures found in man-made structures. Using iPads the children photographed and created digital representations of what they had observed.
In maths we began to look at measuring length with formal and informal units, we made 3D shapes using nets and began to look at simple division applying our knowledge to sort out how many boats/trips we would need, to get all the children to the reef this Wednesday when we visit Port Noarlunga Reef.
