Hi everyone!
We have had a busy Term 3 so far with plenty going on both
in and out of the classroom! Have a read below of some of the things that Room
19 have been up to these past few weeks.
Science
This term our focus has been on Biological Science. We have
been learning all about animals, plants and people. Room 19 have learnt about
offspring, lifecycles and will be planting their very own bean seed! We have
learnt about everything that living things need to grow and survive, as well as
the parts of plants. Room 19 will be investigating how bean seeds grow best and
whether putting them out of the sun will change the way they grow. We will keep
you updated on our results!
NAIDOC Week
This year for NAIDOC Week, we participated in an incursion.
Room 19 learnt about the native plants and seasons used by Aboriginal people.
It was very interesting to learn how Aboriginal people would find and use
different plants for food, medicine and even just for sweet drinks!
Mathematics
This week we have been revisiting division and sharing
numbers into equal groups. Here are some photos of Room 19 sharing pretend
‘lollies’ with one another. We needed to make sure that each student had the
equal amount as their partner to make it ‘fair’!
