We have been completing different roles in Literature Circles to understand what we read. They are Word Wizards, Passage Masters, Summarisers, Connectors, Questioners, and Illustrators. Our favourite role is Word Wizard because we love to trick people with different vocabulary & interesting words.

Topic: Physical Science

In Topic, we have been learning about forces like magnetic forces, gravitational forces and contact forces. There are two types of forces and they are contact forces and non-contact forces. A contact force is when two objects touch e.g. friction and a non-contact force is when something pulls or pushes something away.

We have been learning in Social and Emotional Learning about how to control our feelings and share them with other people.
