Term 4 started off with the completion of our Inquiry about animal defences. We finished off our Modwrap sculptures and continued presenting the last of our factual description presentations to the class. We are continuing to develop our research skills and vocabulary repertoire by listening to informative videos, picking out the main idea, recording key words into an Alphachart and then discussing and finding out their meanings and correct spellings in small groups using dictionaries and the internet. We then worked together to construct a summary of the topic to show our understanding. We have also started to explore shapes and compare and contrast the difference between 3D and 2D shapes. We enjoyed participating in the Book Week event, reading the shortlisted books, dressing up as a book character and showing what we know about adjectives to describe our characters. We also discussed and drew our character with our Prep buddies.
