Technology

WALT: Follow the technological design process to create a boat.

We used what we had learned in science about floating and sinking to ensure that it didn't sink. We looked carefully at the materials we used, as we wanted the materials to be light and waterproof so that they wouldn’t soak up water.

We also learned through testing, that it was important that our boat was balanced so that it stayed upright and didn’t flip over.

Reading

Jamie is learning to use reading strategies quickly to support fluency and comprehension.

Te Reo Māori

WALT: Understand and say our mihi / pepeha including our name, the names of our parents and our school in Te Reo Māori.

Science

Floating and Sinking

WALT:  Make a prediction and test it.

Jamie chose an object from the classroom.

He then ...

- Asked a question; Will it sink or float?

- Made a hypothesis stating what he thought would happen

- Tested his hypothesis by placing the object in the water

- Observed what happened and reflected on the hypothesis

Writing

Jamie is working hard on using both simple and compound sentences in his writing.  His next step is to add detail to his work.

Values and Beliefs

We shared with our buddy the things that we like and they shared what they like. We found we had some things in common and some differences. This discussion helped us to learn how to "connect" with others in our school.
