- Our Book Club roles.
- Finishing our persuasive introductions.

Maths
It's money time! We will be using our addition and subtraction strategies to solve money problems.
Inquiry
During our Science Fair we will be focusing on and experimenting with different types of forces. There will be mini stations set up for students to trail the effects of different forces while collecting observational data.
Wellbeing
We will be exploring 'Zone Idioms' and matching them to our zone colours e.g. fish out of water falls into the yellow zone. Next is looking at our zones across the day and how we move in and out of different zones throughout the day.

Celebration of our Learning
Students were excited to present their island. This island was created throughout the learning during our Inquiry topic 'Our Island Home'. We were very proud of the professionalism the students displayed while presenting and watching.
