What is flying?

This week we started talking about super heroes that can fly.  So we asked ourselves "What is flying?"  Here are some of our ideas.

Inference

Yesterday, Room 9 read a book called 'Big White and Little Red Hen'. Miss Watts asked us to make our own chicken inferences. Inference means looking between the lines and explaining why you think that. You have to get clues from what your read in the book. This is Braedan's inference:

I think Harriet will send Little Red to Tiegal if she continues to make a mess. I think Big White feels happy because Little Red shared her nest.

This is Trent's inference:

I think harriet will send Little Red to Tiegal if she continues to make a mess. I think this because Big White cracked the eggs that Little Red laid but Harriet does not realise this. I think Big White feels happy when Little Red lets Big White share her nest and saves from the fox.  Big White stops being mean to Little Red.

WE LOVE SCIENCE!

Ivy was really keen to do MORE SCIENCE experiments.  We wanted to link it to our inquiry 'Against All Odds'.  So we watched a leopard seal swimming to give us some ideas.  We watched the leopard seal swim and glide through the water.  It floated and dived under the water.



Here are some our questions we would like to test...

Flax Weaving

First we had to fold paper and cut lines in it.  Next we used strips of paper to make weaving patterns.  This was a practice.   Then we will weave with flax.  We also read a book about flax bushes.  Mrs Paurini said we will make a Voicethread to share our learning! Keep checkin our blog please!

Skyping Room 11 @ E.G.S

Today we Skyped Room 11 at Enner Gylnn School.  We like skyping Room 11 because we share ideas.  Both classes made posters with our names, faces and our favourite things to do, so today we played a sort of guess who.   It was really awesome.  We shared what we had been learning.  Mairi, Charlotte and Tyler shared our drawings of Mowzer from the story 'The Mousehole Cat'.  Trent and Ollie shared their thinking about the result of our science experiment. We think skyping is excitingly cool.
