Mass and Capacity

 Today Room 4 learnt about Mass and Capacity. To support us to build our understanding, we completed rotations to experience measuring the mass and capacity of a range of objects.

"For my group’s first rotation we were tasked to measure and weigh different items in grams and ml. For our items we could choose from a book, a whiteboard marker, a “no fishing” sign from our fish tank, a hand sanitizer bottle, a pack of paper clips and a pencil. We weighed them in grams.

...For our third and last rotation we got to measure with more measuring cups along with an actual cup/mug a bowl and syringes and more containers. I honestly think that this rotation was my favourite out of them all because I didn’t know that there were so many ways to measure out liquids and other stuff. "

What makes a good learner?

 Today our literacy class discussed the difference between learning and behaviour. We realised that our behaviour has an impact on our learning. However, we also considered the fact that sometimes staying silent and sitting up nicely (or appearing well behaved) isn't enough to support us in our learning.

We each created a word cloud of ideas of what makes a good learner and shared our ideas: we had heaps in common!

These were our common themes:

Better Together

 Today Room 4 continued to develop our class treaty. We participated in our first mini class debate, in which every learner had the opportunity to share their opinions. We did a fantastic job justifying our opinions and being willing to share our ideas with others.

This afternoon we played a game of 'hand soccer'. This is always hilarious and gave us a chance to work with each other while getting our bodies moving. This game involves a lot more skill than it might seem at first - experience in netball and basketball seemed to pay off!

Welcome to Term 3!

 Today Mrs Stone returned to Room 4 to take over from Miss Hall who will be teaching in Dubai - she will be missed!

To restart our year we played some team building games and discussed our class values. We will start to co-construct a treaty that will support us for the rest of the year and to set the year sevens up for success in 2023.
