The History of Earth (HD - 720P)

Our Inquiry topic this term is 'Digging Up the Past'. In class we have been exploring the creation of our planet. We have been using the video below to help us learn & think about these big ideas. Watch the rest of the video at home. I am looking forward to hearing about what you have learnt! Remember to think about & discuss the new information - show you are thinking & making connections by asking questions. Write down any questions or wonderings you have and share them with us in class.

Max's Holiday Writing

This week for writing we have been focusing on creating writing that is interesting and engaging for our readers. A goal for our writing was to create a first sentence that 'hooks our readers in'. We have been making careful choices about what information to include in our writing, ensuring that the important details are included.

Here is Max's writing from this week. We would love it if you would read this writing and post a comment for Max. What makes this good writing? What is your favourite sentence or part of the writing?

At The Movies

The lights are slowly turning off. It is dark. The movie starts. We are starting to eat our popcorn and drink our Bubbles. The lollies were good. There was a part of the movie when a minion took all his clothes off except his underwear.

A villain got so angry she got her lava gun.She went to the castle! The door broke and it fell to the ground. She pointed the gun at the three minions and Bob gave the crown to the villain.Then the villain was the Queen. 

The villain had an acid grenade that can destroy anything.
