Answer some questions about your favourite book.

Describe your favourite picture story book.

Tackle some mathematics problems on the class blogs.

Look at the Digital Stories on the class blogs or come in and watch them on a class computer.

Our new science topic is Creating Chemistry.

We start with a study of “Solid Liquid Gas” to establish knowledge about the state of matter.

We move on to the concepts of “Reaction and Change” with classroom activities.

The CSIRO “Labs on Legs” program will visit the school on Wednesday 28th July.

The CSIRO Double Helix Club is a great resource for the budding scientists in Level 3.

Happy Flying!!

Congratulations to the first round winners from last week Vanessa, Elise, Oscar H and Hayden who all flew 8.0 metres or more!!

See if you can find out what country your family comes from.
The first person in your family to come to Australia might have come in a ship or on an aeroplane.
They may have come when they were old or very young.
They may have brought something special with them.

See what you can find out!!

I hope you had a great holiday.

We will start posting on the grade blog with your Tales From a Suitcase Project.

We will be visiting the Immigration Museum too!!

Your family can see what you are working on at school.

Mr Crabb

You can put your work on our class blog for everyone at home to see.

You can email your family with some of the ideas you have.

You can create your blog name so you are safe on the interent.

Have fun!!

Mr Crabb
