Classifying Animals

Here is a video clip from Brain Pop to explain how animals are classified.

Questions we need to think about are:

  1. How can I classify animals?

by…………………………………, by ……………………………………………….

or by …………………………………………………..

2.  What characteristics make different groups of animals distinct?

NOW you will do your sort and explain how you sorted your pictures of animals.  What criteria did you use to do your sort?

 

Construction Day for Famous Structures!

What an awesome day Construction Friday was in Room 6!

We welcomed our parents to celebrate their child’s learning in our Structures Inquiry by coming in on Friday to help construct our famous structure models.

You all followed the Design and Technologies process to research, design, plan and write step-by-step instructions for constructing your models. As you can see, the results have been truly spectacular!

Two photos which would not fit on the slideshow are shown here.

And here is another late photo – Jenna was not at school on the day we built our structures.  Here is her structure of Hearst Castle which she built at home using her design plan.  (Great job, Jenna!)

Room 6, I was impressed with how really well organised you were, bringing in your materials (which had to be recycled materials) on the day and following your design plan.

It was really helpful having your mums and dads there to suggest adjustments and use their own engineering and building knowledge as first hand ‘experts’ with hands-on support.

Thank you to everybody who came along and made our day so successful and so much fun!

Enjoy the slideshow.  I’m sure you’ll recognise the song…..!
