Anzac Day

We had a great day investigating what life would be like in a trench during WWI. We made wordles describing the soldiers, made poppies, wrote paragraphs describing life in the trenches, played a KAHOOT based on ANZAC DAY and baked ANZAC cookies.

Problem Solving

WALT: work together to solve problems.

On Friday we were very busy trying to solve some problems that were set for us by our teachers. We had to work collabratively  - making sure everyone had a chance to contribute, that we listened to each other and that we all participated. We got some great answers and will share them on our slideshows.
