Cole and Dawson learning to speak Manderin

Room 15 have been learning to speak Mandarin. We have learnt so much from Wendy and have really enjoyed having her in our classroom teaching us every morning.  Can you work out what Cole and Dawson are saying to each other?

watch them here

Science - Biome in a bag

We were given the following resources
clear cup
resealable storage bag
potting soil
beans or seeds
measuring cup
masking tape

We had to discuss what we would think would happen when we put the potting soil, beans, water inside the resealable storage bag. We knew we would need to put some water into the bag initially, but we had to record our  hypothesis on how we thought the seeds would actually grow inside the resealable storage bag.  We went into our groups and discussed the process that would actually take place inside the bag. After we made our hypothesis, we watched example biomes of how the water cycle works because once the plants are shut in the plastic bags, they will not need to be watered again.

Science - living organisms

We have been discussing when is a living thing a living thing??? We went outside to discover how many living organisms we could find in our back yard..........

Our winning group this week are the Star Reachers who are self managing learners.  

• • They take responsibility for how they work and behave

  • They always keep trying when things are difficult

• • They are proud of what they achieve

Year 6 are collecting 2 Litre bottles so that we can  make our own bottled gardens which will be part of our "living wall" in our school.

Wow check out Jacob and Godfrey speaking Mandarin
