This week we continued to study recounts. We focused on newspaper articles. Firstly, we looked at the main features of a newspaper and compared them to the features of a story recount that we looked at last week. After that we thought about why each feature was effective. We looked at examples of newspaper articles to help us when we wrote our own. Towards the end of the week we planned and wrote our own newspaper article. Our articles were based on the story of Jack and Jill and included a catchy headline, the main events and a quote from an eye-witness. The articles produced by 4B were great and will be displayed in our class room for others to read and enjoy. |
Science
This week we continued to develop our scientific inquiry skills. Each of us created our own research question to investigate. Next, in triads, we developed our method for investigating our research question. Each method had to have clear steps, a full equipment list and information explaining how the test is going to be fair and controlled. Next week we will be following our methods to try and find results to answer our research question. I look forward to seeing how the investigations turn out and what results 4B get.
