Exploring Plants at inquiry time

We are learning about living things this term. We did an experiment to help us learn more about the parts of a plant and what plants need to survive.

Here are some photos of us using our scientific skills of observation to look closely at what makes up a plant.

First we predicted what we thought would happen during the experiment.

Our experiment: Set up and ready for action!

Lila is looking very closely at a part of the plant. 

Look at what Lara found in the plant!

Will's amazing cello performance

Will has been learning how to play the cello since Term 2 this year. He really enjoys playing the cello and often talks about it or writes about it! Our class was very lucky to have Will give us a performance of his favourite piece of music. Click on the video to enjoy his lovely music.

Charlotte's Web is our next class novel!

We finished Babe and have been enjoying watching the movie to see the differences and similarities between the books.

Our next options were Crumbs by Emily Rodda, Charlotte's Web by E. B. White and Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers.

Charlotte's Web got the most votes!

We can't wait to get started!
