W4, T4: Planting experiments

For science, we are looking at adaptations.

We planted seeds to find out how a living thing will react to its environment.
We started with a "control" - a plant that was planted "normally".  We chose to change one thing in our experiment. Some of us changed the amount of soil, the amount of water, using paper towels instead of soil, halving the seed....etc. This was our "experiment plant".

 The "control plant" is there to compare how the "experiment plant" will react to a different environment. We are looking forward to what happens next.

W7, T3: Speeches

Well done to Aggie, Pranay, Adriana and Joshua for representing Room 12 and Room 13 in the NWS speech finals. Aggie talked about her great grandmother and Adriana talked about miniature animals. Pranay made us think about the difference between learning with a pen/paper and learning with a device. Joshua also made us think about the dangers of smoking. 

Aggie and Pranay got first equal and Joshua placed second.

W6, T3: Speeches

We have been working really hard on our speeches last week. We presented to small groups or to the whole class. We used a google form to assess each speaker. These brave learners were keen to present to the class AND represent us in the speech finals.

Proud of Millie, Pene, Dian, Dishita, Srija, Abdul, Adriana, Aggie, Pearl, Nazia, Pooja, Joshua, Pranay and Ruby.

 Room 12 and Room 13 were especially proud of Pooja and Nazia who were too shy to present last year and decided to present to the whole class this year. Check out their speeches here:
