Super Scientist

During week 4 & 5 we will be conducting our Super Scientist competition!!

Your task:

To create and present a powerpoint or poster along with an oral presentation on a scientific topic that interests you.

For example, the solar system, volcanoes, the water cycle, tectonic plates, dinosaurs, how rainbows are formed etc.

Your presentation will need to be planned, rehearsed and then presented on your allocated day.

You have a 2 - 5 minute time limit.

Below is a table of your allocated presentation day.

I have included a copy of the assessment rubric so you are aware of how you will be marked.

During Week 6 we celebrated Book Week.

Over the course of the week we did activities relating to this year's theme "Curious Creatures, Wild Minds". We also had a dress-up day & parade.

It was a lot of fun and we all enjoyed ourselves 😁

Term 3

We can't believe we are almost half way through Term 3!!! We have had a very busy start to the term and it is going to continue being busy as it progresses.

Firstly, we elected our new Student Councillors. Every student who wanted to be a councillor had to present a speech to the class and then we did a secret vote. The winners were...... Bhuvan & Chirath 😊 🎉

We also celebrated NAIDOC Week during Week 2. We met up with our Buddy class (Kindy 1) and helped our little friends create some rainbow serpents after we all read the story together. We also got to make our own rainbow serpent.

Then during Week 4 we were lucky enough to have Mr Sanderson come into our classroom and show us some REALLY cool science experiments, and we were able to impress him with our understanding of some different scientific vocabulary we have learnt. He also taught us about some biological science which is the concept we are learning about this term.

We also had an assembly in Week 4. We would like to say a huge CONGRATULATIONS to our classroom award winners - Jacob, Chloe, Joanna & Tahsan, and a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Joshua on receiving the Italian certificate. There were also Literacy Pro certificates for the most improved. Monet, Joanna & Lily are our most improved students for Room 13.
