Term 4 inquiry presentations

Hi everyone, in term 4 we had a "passion" project inquiry. The children would pick any topic that they had a passion for and investigate it.
Here are our pictures of the final presentations.

chocolate story

Hi Miss J here is my story.

<![if !vml]><![endif]>The chocolate war

Once upon a time there was an Easter bunny with a helpful sidekick called kit Kat and Willy Wonka as their enemy with his sidekick Tim Tam. There were two sides, the White chocolates and the Dark chocolates. They were fighting at Willy Wonka’s factory on Mars Willy Wonka yelled  “Dark chocolate is better than White” The Easter bunny replied saying “Nah White chocolate is better”, They shot Maltesers and Jafas at each other throughout the hours, they were both shot with Oreo Frisbees by the umpa lumpas ‘ha we got you’ chuckled the umpa lumpas. ‘Tomorrow I’ll get you’ said Willy Wonka. The next day they woke up in their chocolate croissants and had a big bowl of choc biscuits for breakfast, the Easter bunny called Willy Wonka on his timeout phone, “Hi willy I still hate you but I forgot what we were fighting about” exclaimed the Easter bunny, “oh yeah I don’t know either, want to meet up for hot chocolates?” Asked Willy Wonka “sure” answered the Easter bunny. “Noooooo” Shouted the Umpa Lumpas, “we need revenge”. Afterwards The Easter Bunny and Willy arrived at the afghan café “here is a rose” said the Easter bunny “thanks” grinned Willy Wonka. They each got a hot chocolate and lived happily ever after!

andrews cards

On Friday room 2 went to their buddy class to make some cards for Andrew. We did it because Andrew is in hospital and has cancer. With our buddies we got a piece of coloured paper and folded it in half. We wrote a message for him and glued it inside. We then decorated a title and glued it on the front. We also drew pictures on the inide for decoration. They look fantastic and we can’t wait for Andrew to read them.

Hi everyone, we have had a visit from the Life Education caravan. We were looking at our Brains, how they work and what they need to work. Please ask your children about what they learned about their brains, I'm sure they will still remember some facts. I have put the above link in for any one to have a look at or for the children to have a play. Thanks. Miss J.

Dioramas with Mrs Wallace

Recently room 2 made dioramas with Mrs Wallace.
First we planned it in our I.B.L, then we painted a shoebox or just a box and put yellow paint, yellow paper or actual sand.
We decorated them with fish, shells, rocks, nets and rubbish to make it look like pollution, over fishing, oil spills, reef walking and sunscreen falling of tourists and poisoning the coral. We have based these dioramas on The Threats To the Great Barrier Reef. We hope you enjoy looking at them.
