Fantastic skills in measuring time today in class 6. We began by telling the time to o’clock and half past, then looked at the position of the hour hand in a half past time. The children showed what they had learned by accurately drawing the hands on clocks to show these times. We then grappled with the ‘I Wonder’ challenge where we had to calculate the time to the previous hour. Many of us found this a little tricky but we know in class 6 that finding things difficult means we are learning and we persevered until we completed our task. Reeva and Hunter did especially well and won our Learning Legend postcards for their work.

I am so proud of you all!

Class 6 spent Wednesday afternoon studying the work of Andy Goldsworthy, who creates amazing sculptures from natural objects such as stone, leaves and ice. The children then ventured out into the beautiful sunshine to create sculptures of their own. Tallon received the learning legend postcard for his efforts. What a lovely way to learn about the wonders of nature in our beautiful world!

Class 6 spent part of their morning researching a member of the mammal family of animals, the polar bear. They worked in groups to read and gather fact from a text and write what they had learned.

The children showed great skills in their collaborative reading task and we found out lots of things we didn’t know before. Did you know polar bears have black skin under all that fur?

Also a massive well done to Emelia who won our learning legend postcard today for her outstanding effort in all her learning. Keep it up Emelia.

Great job kiddos!

Look at the joy on these little faces!
