Yet another thing we did for writing this week was to imagine that we had undergone metamorphosis.
We had to pretend we had woken up one morning and discovered we had changed. It would be like going to sleep as a caterpillar and waking up as a butterfly. We had to write about what our new body was like and what we could do. I chose to do me turning into Wounder Woman.
Here is my work.
Because we were using ‘Insects’ as a topic this week for reading and writing we created some works of art based on insects also. We had to make them out of any materials we could find at home. I chose to use: Paper a Sharpie and a hot Glue Gun To stick the paper on.
Here is a photo of my creation:
This week one thing we have been learning in maths is how to write expanded numbers. Another way of saying this is ‘expanded form’ or ‘expanded notation’. They all mean the same thing. It’s like you have to break the numbers up into their place value parts and then put + symbols in between them. Example:
7239 =7000+200+30+9.
Another thing we have been learning in maths is how to solve word problems involving combinations of things. You had to be able to write addition equations showing as many different combinations as we could.
Some people found it was useful to do your figuring out using a table. But not the kind of table you eat off-a mathematical table.
Here is my work.
We have been learning how to use the scientific method to help us explore a science topic of interest. My group included Phoebe and I and our experiment was about Lava Lamps. The most interesting thing we learned from our experiment was that the salt helped to make the bubbles form a lot better.
A follow up experiment to help us understand more about our findings could be. You could use Alka Seltzer to make it more bubbly and to see if it could make a better Lava Lamp.
I hope you enjoy learning something interesting from our science investigation.

In Week 3 of Term 3, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation. This week Mrs Craig Read the book: the smartest Giant in Town by Julia Donaldson.
It was about being kind.
I chose to do design which was to do design your own story map. We also had to write three sentences about the Giant.
