Instructions/Science Week

VOLCANOS

 In the last two weeks we have been learning about instructions and in reading we made volcanos. Everyone had to bring in an ingredient such as vinegar, baking soda, sand and food colouring. First we made a volcano with the sand, next we put the baking soda in, after that we put the food colouring in, finally we put in the vinegar and watched the ERUPTION!!

I Am Poems

         I AM POEMS

At the start of the year room 9 wrote I am poems. We wrote a poem about ourselves. Then we drew pictures of ourselves and coloured it in. They had things like noun phrases, adjectives and similes.

Caritas

Today we had a Caritas lady called Gemma come into our class and teach us about what Caritas people do to help other people in need.

Then we learnt about a man called Nick and what he did for his job working for Caritas. He had asked people in the Pacific Ocean about what is needed and what has happened, then they got a group of people to help.

After that Gemma showed us some pictures of a teenager called Maria. Maria was very lucky because lots of people can’t afford to go to high school, but Maria could afford to go. She lives with her mum, dad, brothers and grandma. Maria has chores to do which are; wash the clothes and wash her brothers.

The village that Maria lives in only has three taps for water but Caritas is helping them by getting them more taps so that they don’t have to keep on lining up in long lines every day wasting their time.

We really enjoyed learning about what Caritas is and we hope we learn more.

Family Fridays Week 8 Term 1

Last Friday we had our very first "Family Fridays," where a parent comes in on a Friday and shares something special with us. Room 9 would love to thank Susan for coming in and reading a fantastic book to us called Oh, the Places You'll Go! By Doctor Seuss and preparing an awesome PowerPoint quiz for us to answer. Thanks for all of your hard work and effort.  It was so much fun!
