Good afternoon and welcome to week 6. Today I have sent home a research project for the students to complete.  The research will be used to complete an information report in week 7 and gives the students the opportunity to choose an Australian place of interest on which to write an information report.  I have included a planning template and a page outlining the task.  Please support your child to complete the research required.  I have also told the students that I have books that can be used if they do not have any research books at home.  Although the research is primarily to be completed at home, I will also make myself available at lunch time later in the week to enable students to complete some of this task at school if they need access to the internet or books.

Good afternoon and welcome to week 4...already!! This week we have been continuing with our learning around what happens to materials when we add heat.  We also learned about what happens when we remove head from a liquid, and as you can see had plenty of fun chocolate welding.  The best thing about this activity isn't the chocolate or marshmallows (because we didn't even get to eat any!!) but the problem solving and teamwork that is necessary to make the tallest self-sustaining tower possible while we look at chocolate changing from a liquid to a solid!!
