Topic
This week we began our new topic of adventurers and explorers, we started by becoming explorers ourselves. We looked at some artifacts belonging to an explorer and tried to figure out who it was. Then we were given some clues to explore JPS and find some letters. Once we found them all we realized they spelled out CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS!
We continued our learning this week by using secondary sources to find out about Christopher Columbus and his accomplishments.
English
This week in English we started learning about information texts. We identified what makes a good information text and began using some of the features, such as paragraphs, in our writing.
Science
This week is science we started learning about electricity. We leant about how to be safe around electricity and made some posters explaining how to be safe.
In the lab this week we created our own circuits using a cell, wires, a bulb or buzzer and switches. We were investigation exactly what is required to make a working circuit.
Sports day was a huge success this week all of the children showing excellent sportmanship and team work. Thank you to the PE department and all who attended for making the event such fun.
