Room 6 was hungry for books during our book week. We had a whole week celebrating all things books. We had author visits from Stu Duval and James Russell. Stu presented workshops on storytelling, cartooning and writing. James shared his books and told us stories. We did lots of cool book week activities in class like making dust jacket covers, wanted posters, bookmarks and story cubes. Finally our favourite day arrived, Friday. We got to dress up as our favourite characters and partake in the literacy treasure hunt. Overall book week is a fantastic week every year. Room 6 LOVES BOOK WEEK!                         
 

Here are some photos from our time:

Watercare

Water, water everywhere! On Friday of week 6, we were lucky to have Sally from Watercare come to teach us more about the water. We did a drama activity and experiments. Firstly we examined the process that water goes through to become drinkable water in our households. Our drama was based on the process that the water goes through to be cleaned. We were the water going through each stage. We had so much fun as we ventured around the school. Once we learnt how water is cleaned we then had to try and clean the dirty water ourselves. We had to create a filter system in partners. We had to do four different tests for our experiments. We experimented with a range of filters to try and test which filter system was the best.

Science in a Van

Today some people called science in a van came and talked to us about science, matter, the periodic table and the center of balance. It was really cool learning heaps of stuff about science.

Sign Language Week

Today we had guests that came in and talked to us about sign language because it was sign language week. They taught us the national anthem in sign language they also taught us some random words in sign language like love and dog. It was really cool learning all about sign language. 

Holy Spirit Triangles

This week in R.E we did Holy Spirit triangles. I really liked making the triangles  because we did heaps of different designs. Each side had either faith, hope, love or the Holy Spirit. Here are the pictures of each side.

Problem Solving Maths

In maths this week we worked on word problems. These problems used bed mass and input output tables. Here is one of the worksheets.
