Our Pathways to Knowledge - Questioning!

We have all chosen a topic about China that interests us. We talked about 'open' questions and 'closed' questions and then brainstormed the things we wanted to find out about our topics.

Have a look to see the questions we have come up with!


Our next step is finding information to answer them.

Our Class Treaty

We looked at the class treaty we made in Term Three with Donna and decided we really liked the ideas we came up with. We needed to get our teacher, Kathryn is sign it with us!
We thought that the promises we made really help us to focus on our learning and have a happy, friendly classroom!

We talked about what RESPONSIBILITY feels like, looks like and sounds like in the classroom.

Welcome Back to Term 3

The Day the Kittens Visited Room 1

On Thursday Zylah's Mum, Sally came to visit with five kittens! There family is looking after the kittens and finding them new homes. 

They were very small.  We all thought that they were very cute too!

Here we are stroking and holding the kittens...




Some of the kittens tried to escape....but we were very quick to catch them!

Sally showed us how the kittens can be fed using a bottle. 
They need to be fed with a bottle because they are so young. 










It was fun having the kittens visit our classroom. We hope that they might come back and visit us again soon!
