PLAYS!

Last week, Room 4 did some plays for reading. We had to use good expression, get into our characters, use a loud clear voice and work together as part of a group.
On Thursday each group performed their play. We were all very entertained!

SPACE POSTERS!

Wow, I have been so impressed with everyone's effort they have put in to our space posters over the last two weeks.

First, we had to research a planet, the moon or sun at home. Some people found HEAPS of information!
Then, we had to work with a partner to present our research on a poster.
Our poster had to include ...

• lots of interesting facts
• a big, fancy title that stands out
• some photos or pictures

We also had to work well as a team with our partner.

Well done, you are super space researchers Room 4!

The Sun, Earth and Moon

In Room 4 yesterday we did an experiment to show how the Earth and Moon spin around. We used a hoop to show the Sun. The basketball was Earth which orbited on its axis to get night and day as well as orbited around the Sun over a year. The Moon orbited around Earth every month.

Xavier as the Sun, Robbie as the Moon and Kate as Earth.

Then we drew a diagram in our books of what we had learned. Here are some AMAZING diagrams!
