Dot Art - Art and Cultural Evening

We have been creating dot arts for our art and cultural evening. We chose images to represent through dots. Our image had to be outlined because the colours would be confusing with the paint. We used cotton buds, sticks and even nails to make the dots.

Cyber Safety : Truth or Scam

• I received this email from Apple. I have an iPhone. I have an Apple ID, and I had some trouble logging in to my Apple ID the other day. Oh, no! My Apple ID has been locked! How am I going to download new apps, purchase music, and that new iBook I wanted?!? I'd better click on the button and update my authentification settings. Wait, what? Is this real?

Digestive System - Informative Report

Have you ever thought about where the food you eat goes?
We know that our bodies need food and nourishment to survive, but what do our bodies do with the food?

In our last week's Literacy contract, we had to read books and use other resources to find out more information about the digestive system then  write an informative report about the digestive system and how it works.

Newspaper Article - The Times

Our task was to work in teams of 3 to come up with an

interesting article including the words on the board.

The words were grateful, bank, bank notes, disaster,

helpers, honest, flurry and recover.

When we have finished we will share each

article (taking turns reading out loud).

This activity is to allow us to be the creator

of a news story, and presenting it as a reporter.
