Term Two Week One


We have had a busy start to Term Two. During the holidays all of our furniture and belongings were moved into our new classroom, which was very exciting.  Mrs McGhie has given each of us our own display space on the classroom wall so we were curious to find out about these and how they would work.

For the next three weeks we will be learning all about Geometry.  Mrs McGhie placed shapes around the room and we had to write down what we knew about them. We were doing lots of thinking.
We also started thinking about our new Inquiry topic - we're going to be learning all about Geology. To begin with we browsed through lot of the books on the topic to get our ideas and questions started off. 
After that we started brainstorming what we already knew about the topic.
Then we identified keywords to help us with our research.
Finally we wrote down all the questions we had and organised them into categories.  

It took us a few days to do all of this thinking and recording. We can't wait to start learning lots of new things.
