In Language, we learnt words with the 'ch' sound in them.
In Math this week, we continued learning about picture graphs. The children made their own picture graphs for their friends to record information about their favourite things.
This week in Inquiry, we have been open-minded and inquirers as we looked at life cycles of different animals, particularly chickens, frogs and butterflies. We have also been observing the changes happening to the real flowers in the classroom. The students have compared them to the human life cycle and noted that we, like animals, are born, grow up, and then die. We are discussed the things that we need to survive, and that like animals, we need food and water. However, unlike plants, we don't need sunlight.
The children were creative and used craft materials and practiced cutting and sticking to show the life cycle of a chicken.
They enjoyed reading an online book about butterflies' and frogs' life cycles and answering questions about it.
The children were creative again and made butterflies! We linked this activity to Math, and the students needed to follow instructions on a picture graph to know what to do. The picture graph showed that they needed to use three colours and at least three circles. We painted on one half of the butterfly, then folded and pressed so that the butterfly becomes symmetrical.
We edited our predictions on how long we think our class flowers will last, as the tulips have already started to wilt after just one week!
