READING ANALOGUE CLOCKS

On Friday we looked at how to read an analogue clock face – counting in 5s.

From iMaths Year 3

You need to practise telling the time at home too!  Remember: count by 5s as you go around the clock, then by ones for every extra minute.  The BIG HAND is the HOUR – the little hand is the minutes. 

PAST the hour are all 30 minutes from the 12 to the 6 on the clock face.

What’s the time Mr. Wolf?

Sixteen minutes to six o’clock!

SOLE QUESTION – Australian Mega Fauna

This afternoon we are going to do some SOLE work for Inquiry.  You will be working in

Self

Organised

Learning

Environments.

Your SOLE question is:

What were Australia’s megafauna and how do they compare with today’s Australian animals?

You will be working in groups (which you can choose to join or leave) where each person has to do equal work.  You will have 60 minutes to research the question, write notes, create a poster with your key information on it and then present what you have found out to the class.

Use the strengths within your group.  Give out jobs.  Eg. ….. is a good artist so he/she will design the poster and do the artwork.  ….. is a good reader so he/she will read out what is on the website so we can all understand the main ideas.   Then we will all decide what the main facts are and ………….. will write them down as notes because…..is a good writer.

Have fun learning something new and unusual about Australian animals in your SOLE session today!

This will introduce animals you will possibly meet when we go on our excursion on Wednesday to Erth’s Prehistoric World!  🙂
