Maths

This week we have been learning about mass.  Mass is how much an object weighs.  We have been using our bodies as scales to decide what is heavier and what is lighter.  When something is heavy the scales go down and the lighter object goes up.

Integrated

Zero the Hero is flying around Europe at the moment.  He sent us a letter and some photos to tell us all about Europe.  He has been to visit England, Ireland, Scotland, Holland, Germany and Italy.

Europe has beaches like us.  Madison
Europe has fountains like us.  Paul
Europe has a lot of castles.  Liam
Europe has buildings so close together that they are like hallways.  Cole
In Europe the schools are in the cities.  Shenae
They have food like us.  Deanne.

Europe is a very old continent.  People have been living there for a long time so they have lots of old buildings and statues.  Our activity for Europe was to build a castle because they have lots of castles in Europe.

Special Events

On Tuesday Miss R was away learning some more computer stuff.  Mr M came into teach us for the day.  At the end of the day Mr M gave a pencil to Ruby because she was working hard all day.

Today was a very special day.  It was Grandparents Day.  We invited all our grandparents to come and visit us at school.  We had a special assembly and the choir sang four beautiful songs. Then our grandparents came and visited us in our classroom.  It was great to show off all our work!  Then all the grandparents got to have a lovely morning tea in the Performing Arts building.

What a fabulous week!
