Ten weeks have whizzed by and we are about to embark on two weeks of holiday before the final term!
This week all the 3-D athletes have been labelled, sprayed with polyurethane and photographed ready for being presented at the Art Exhibition in week two next term.
Most children have almost completed their author presentation. It is pleasing to see the range of ideas that have been used to show the information.
Today we discussed our environmental questions and stressed the importance of writing subsidiary questions to help with scaffolding the information required to answer their big question. Because the last few weeks have been very busy we are still at the research stage and if the children have time over the holidays to gather any further information that would be great. Next term we will discuss presentation ideas before publishing.
Creating tangrams and then manipulating them to form representations of animals and other objects has been fun and challenging during our ICT time. Look out for these in our next portfolios.
The foldouts related to the novel study that many of you viewed at the conferences are now on display and the children can now spend time reading each others' interpretations of the plot.
Another ICT task completed this week has been the making of a person in the Paint program and the adding of a speech or thought bubble containing the next learning goal that was decided during the conferences. These are also on display.
Look out for updates on Taylor's holiday on his personal Blog.

Don't forget to visit some of the good learning websites recommended on our Blog if you have some spare time in the holidays.
I am off to WOW...I wonder if their designs will be as good as the ones Room28 created.
