"We have been learning about comic strips and how to write them. We found out that what the character is talking about needs to match the actions. It took us a long time because we had to colour them all in! We found it challenging to colour within the lines. We really enjoyed doing something a little bit different than when we just write stories in our books. Check them out!" - Fyfe,  Maddy, Tyson & Athena.

We have been learning about day and night. We found out that the Earth moving around the Sun causes day and night. When it is day time in the Southern hemisphere, it is night time in the Northern hemisphere.  In this prior knowledge activity we had to sort pictures into things that happen in the day time and things we do at night time. We found it awesome working in a group to share our thoughts and ideas. 

We got into groups of 2 or 3, and 1 person described to their buddy something from the picture. Then their buddy wrote down what they said. So we had to listen carefully. We listened to each other - Joel We took turns - Wyatt We described what we could see - Ariv We helped each other when they didn't know the right words - Rocky We were looking at the pictures to write down our words - Emma Miss Clothier was very proud of the way we worked together. She heard us share ideas, and help each other with spelling.
