CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR S.O.L.E. TASK!

What a great job you did on your first S.O.L.E. research task!

Great teamwork and you really used each other’s strengths to help the group.  There were a few people who just needed a little help to get on track, then they found out heaps.  Good work!

I loved the way you showed me all the skills you’ve learnt about searching for information, finding keywords, and how to find and print images.

Just look at the fabulous results!  Your posters are magnificent!!! Good work sharing the job of presenting too.  Now that we’ve been to Erth’s Prehistoric World, we can certainly see how our mega-fauna fit into the timeline.

 

Our Kitchen Garden Bed

Our Kitchen Garden bed is growing really well.  You can see the carrots popping their little orange bits above the soil, while their green frilly tops dance in the wind.

You can see the goodness in the dark green of the broccolli leaves, growing bigger and brighter every day.

And, you can see the white butterfly flowers of the snowpeas fluttering in the breeze as they think about turning into pea pods, now that we’ve got the plants climbing up our new made up fence….

It’s all about food – growing our own organic, healthy food right here to eat very soon.

Hmmm….I wonder if these are all living things?  Check the other posts and songs and decide for yourself if they have all the characteristics of living things!  😎

BIG QUESTION – FINDING OUT

Wow!  You certainly are working like Year 3-and-a-half students when you do your Inquiry FINDING OUT!  I love the way you are using your X-charts and making sensible dot points using only keywords.  🙂

Your DEEPER BRAINSTORM questions was a tricky task, but you’ve all done a fabulous job, asking questions which are googleable!  Well done, people!  

Now, we need to get our sentences done and our paragraphs written, so that we can all start our good copies of our Information Brochures!   Looks like we’re going to have a great classroom learning celebration soon!  Your parents will be thrilled!  🙂

Living or Non-Living and Mrs Gren

In Science we are learning how scientists check whether something is LIVING or NON-LIVING

In this video we learn how to remember the 7 characterists of living things:

Here’s a fun song about these characteristics of a living thing.

In your Science books you are now going to write the letters MRS GREN down the left-hand side and next to each letter in another colour, write the word it stands for.  Please put the heading above it: 7 Characteristics of Living Things.
