Room 37 have been working super hard in Science this year and we have had a lot of interes ng discussions on all of the lessons in our classroom. In Week 3 of Term 4, Room 37 students have been developing their knowledge on living and non-living things. To begin they learned that the defini on of living was: things that move, respire, grow, need nutri on, respond to s muli, reproduce and excrete. The students worked in groups to make a list of living and non-living things. Students then shared their lists with the class. The boys and girls compared the living and non-living things and discussed the similari es and differences between each. Students then worked together to group the living and non-living things into categories and they displayed their informa on in a venn diagram. The students then drew, coloured and labelled pictures to represent living and non-living items. Have a look at their awesome work below. Sharon O’Gorman Classroom Teacher
Room 37 Scien sts of the Future
Earlier this year, Isla Hartley, a Year Two student from our school entered the George and Ernes ne Forster Essay Compe on run by the Rockingham District Historical Society. Recently, Isla found out that she had won the first prize in her age category! In order to write the essay, Isla had to interview her nanna, Kerry Cross, about her me at school. In doing so, she found out some very surprising details. Isla noted that when her nanna was in Year 1, she a ended a school that had only 14 students; this is very different to our school. Isla also found out that some things had remained the same when comparing schools in the past to schools in the present day. One of the things she no ced was that children s ll love to play the same games; chasey, monkey bars, hula hoops and netball. The picture is of a Grade 3/4 class at Serpen ne Primary School when Isla’s Nanna Kerry was a student . Sacha Garre Classroom Teacher
Well Done Isla!
The overall focus in Health this term is safety and we are covering topics from road safety, water safety, first aid and sun safety. We learned about the effects the sun can have on our skin and what measures to take to prevent ge ng sunburned. The Year 5 and 6 students were asked to create a jingle to promote being sun smart. We collabora vely brainstormed what elements we find in a jingle and collected what kind of sun smart informa on and vocabulary we want to be highlighted. In small groups, students had some me to decide on a tune, a style, write the lyrics and if they wanted to include any movements. Following this crea ve process, we made me available for presenta ons. The finished products were outstanding and showed a great understanding of what we have learned about being sun smart. Remember, slip, slop, slap, slide and seek in the upcoming warmer months. The Health Team
