Team 17 Reflection of Week 1, Term 2

Team 17 have jumped into the new term with enthusiasm and are already showing how engaged self-directed learners can be. The following reflections were made in small groups on some different topcis, and the photos were taken to reflect the subjects. Well done team 17, I am proud of you. Mr Wood.

Maths: Measuring Temperature
It was exciting when we had maths and we were finding out what the temperature was in other countries.
Team 17 has figured out how to calculate degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius.





Science: Insulation and temperature
Water boils when it reaches 100C and it freezes below 0C.
For science this week, everyone in class went to the staff room with Mr Wood to get an ice-cube for the challenge. We tried to make it last long.



Our new classroom layout
The classroom looks cool and next week we will get our laptops but we don't get to play games.
Our new classroom has been layed-out for us to use laptops.




Reading Buddies
Today we got new reading buddies from room 7 and we will help them read every Friday.
My year 2 buddy is very eager to read like year six children do.

Night Stars

Our group made a playground, we worked as a team, we did a brainstorm, we drew plans and got materials. When we built it together like a team, we made sure it was strong enough to hold the rats, and we made a good doorway for the rats. Then we reflected. We made a huge improvement by working as a team and we had new ideas, like making a slide and a tunnel.
