Here is the next Mojo video. What does he learn this time about his brain?
CLICK ON THE MAGIC OF MISTAKES to watch the video.
Remember to talk about this new idea at home with your family. We all make mistakes, but the important part is learning from them and trying again so that we can do better. 🙂
And here is an animation of the Chinese Moon Festival
This week the girls have brought us classroom news, AND…. Rosie and Harper have given us a full weather forecast for Margs for the week! Great work, team! 🙂
This video shows that even though we all have our own special SMARTS, we can learn Anything if we are willing to put in the effort.
We are going to learn about how our brains work and what we can do to help grow our brains. Here is our first video, which helps to explain how this works.
Why don’t you ask Mum and Dad to watch this video too, so that they will understand how special your brains are?
We have looked at climate and the climatic zones of Australia. Today we are going to learn more about the weather.
Watch this video clip and notice as many different kinds of weather that you can see. Write them down on your sheet and we will share your ideas at the end of the video.
WEATHER 101 (National Geographic)
Now that we have discussed the different kinds of weather events we saw, here is a BTN clip to show you how meteorologists (weather scientists) predict the weather. Listen carefully to hear what a METEOROLOGIST does!

Now we will investigate a couple of reliable weather forecasting websites:
1. WILLY WEATHER
2. AUSTRALIAN BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY
You will be researching weather conditions with a partner for your chosen city in Australia. You need to learn how to find out:
Explore these weather sites and have fun working out what weather other people are experiencing just because they are in a different place, with a different climate. We will be comparing these later on. 😎
We have done some work on Australia’s climatic zones but it looks like we need to go over just what the weather will be like in the different climate zones. Remember the difference between WEATHER and CLIMATE!
Weather: temperature, rainfall, weather condition on the day or short term
Climate: is the weather (above) pattern over a longer time – this becomes the weather we expect in the different seasons.
In different climates, the seasons are really quite different as you learned in the video we watched the other day. We learned about TEMPERATE, TROPICAL and POLAR CLIMATES. In Australia we know them as TEMPERATE, TROPICAL AND ARID (DESERT) climates.
Can you remember which climate type we have in Margaret River?
Let’s look at the coloured map in your booklet again to check just where these climate zones. Remember their names. What are they?
Mrs Veary 😎
This video clip is a good introduction to climate and weather. You need to listen well to work out the difference between them. Today we are going to learn about the different CLIMATE ZONES OF THE WORLD. I wonder what climatic zone Margaret River is in…? See if you can work it out.
Now we are going to work in our booklets to check what we have learned and to see what kind of climate we have in Australia. 😎
We will be using Inquisitive again so you will need to remember our join code when you click on this link. INQUISITIVE There is a humorous video about the weather too.
