What is really out there?

This Term our Big Idea is...'Understanding the possibilities' and our Big Question is ... 'What is really out there???'This term room 5 have been learning all about space and the planets in our solar system. Its been really fun Peter Knowles came to our school and told us all about space. He brought with him a fascinating machine it had a light bulb in the middle that represented the sun it had 3 balls representing Mercury, Venus and Mars and a globe that represented Earth. Peter told us all about how we get seasons. We learnt so much our brains were bursting with information.

Thought of the day! ... Something to think about!

Just another reason why we always should always plan ahead :)

The Billy Cart Races

Wow! What a race, 'Eat My Dust' won again. 1D crashed ouch! Is she ok? What a crash I am looking forward to this race, I think Sarah is going to win. The race started opps I'm wrong, Sarah crashed into a bush. Steve fell over, what a fall! Then I wonder who's racing next. Ryan verse Eat My Dust verse Isaac, Who's going to win? Yay! Ryan won how exciting. The final is going to be another great race. _ Cooperative story written by Tyler, Oriwa, Ebon and Mikayla. Crash of the centeray - Sarah eagerly tugged her Go-cart up the hill and hoped in it. Victoria held onto the end as Mrs Parfitt got her whistle "ready set go" she yelled. The go-cart went rolling down the hill, she turned to the right and lost control and went straight towards the bush. "Watch out" we yelled but it was too late she charged straight towards Mr Perry. Oh no she went right between his legs._ Cooperative story written by River, Lewis, Charlie, Ethan.

Are you ready? Preparing ourselves for a Natural Disaster

This term our 'Big Idea' is Preparing for the future! and our 'Big Question' is Are you ready? Mrs Bowen asked us to sort through a pile of emergency items that she had been Compiled from internet searches, discussions with staff and emergency professionals and come up with our own 'Emergency Kits' that would later be put together and placed in each classroom. To do this we firstly discussed the types of Natural disasters (scenarios) we could be involved in while at school. Then we broke into groups and each focusing on a different scenario sorted through the items Mrs Bowen had given us. Once we were happy with our choices we swapped scenarios and kits with another group for moderation. Coming back together as a class we shared our Kits with each other and saw that there were a lot of similarities between kits. It was from here we were able to put together and overall emergency kit that would best cover all scenarios. We then gave our ideas back to Mrs Bowen.
