Printmaking with our buddies

For the last two weeks room 9 and room 15 have been printmaking. We had to use sponges and choose a background colour. Next we used oval shaped sponges to make to make the body of our insects, cardboard to make the leg shapes and the end of a paintbrush to make the eyes. Our bug prints look amazing. Watch this space for photos of our prints. A big thank you to our buddies for helping us.

Gathering Data Through All Senses

Yesterday Ada and I went outside to take some photos of things we could use our senses for.We both took 2 photos each. I took a photo of an acorn and Ada took a photo of me smelling a plant.The senses are touch, sight, smell, taste and sound. We are learning about the Habit of Mind, gathering data through all senses.

I was using my sense of sight to look at our new drop off bay.  

I used my sense of smell to smell the plant. Ada you took a great photo using the camera.

I was using my sight and smell senses. You took a fantastic photo Mackenzie!

We couldn't see the acorn in our hand so we put it on the ground. Mrs Steedman thinks this is an amazing photo too.

The Olympic Rings

In Room 9 our Inquiry focus is about the Olympics. We didn't know what the rings meant and we thought alot of different things. We used Google to find information and we learnt that:

• The rings represent the five continents that participate in the Olympics.
• The continents are Asia, Europe, The Americas, Africa and Oceania.
• At least one colour of the rings can be found in every countrie's flag that participate in the Olympics.
