Exploring the Brain!

We had so much fun last term exploring sheep brains! We were able to find the four lobes, the cerebellum and many other parts of the brain.

Here are a few comments from the children about what they observed on the day...

"It was really squishy, like jelly! Vicka

"It was so cool seeing a real cerebellum! Hazim

"It smelt gross!" Ujjawal

What's happening in Room 5?!

Writing - We are learning how to write an information report this term! We will be writing about self-control as well as many different aspects about New Zealand! We will also be concentrating very hard on our independent writing goal! We are all so excited to work hard and achieve our goal!!

Reading - We are focusing on understanding what we are reading. To do this, we need to be able to retell the main parts of the story, think about what the characters are feeling, why they are doing the things they are doing and thinking about what we would do differently if we were in that situation.

Maths - At the moment we have been learning about how to record different information using different types of graphs. We are loving learning about statistics! For the last few weeks of the term we will be learning about fractions! We will learn how to share things equally into 1/2, 1/4, 1/3, 1/5 and 1/6!
