3D Shapes

We have been learning about solid shapes, such as cuboid, rectangular prism, triangular prism, and cylinder. We have been learning about the number of sides, edges, and corners of each shape.

Check out our 3D shapes!

Diamante Poems

We have been learning how to write a diamante poem.  

A diamante poem is a poem that follows a pattern.  It has 7 lines.  This first line has one word (a noun), the second line has 2 words (adjectives to describe the noun), the third line has 3 words (verbs to describe what the verb is doing), the 4th line has a phrase and then it works back agin to 1 word.

We decided to write about daffodils because it is Spring time. 

Check out our daffodil poems.  

Some people used keynote, some used kidpix and others published on paper.

What do we know about Seals and Penguins?

Here is a couple of brainstorms we did today about what we know about Penguins and Seals.  We did this using Wallwisher.  It was heaps of fun!
