Recounting with iPads

This week we tried doing a recount of our excursion a little differently.  We used our ipads to write sentences to match pictures.  It is the first time we have done this and we think we have done pretty well for a first try!

Herbivore or Carnivore?

We looked at pictures of carnivores (meat eaters) and herbivores (plant eaters) and we discovered that they had different body parts.

A carnivore has sharp teeth, usually stands on two legs so it can run fast and often has sharp claws to catch it's prey.

A herbivore has bumpy teeth for grinding plants, walks on four legs and has a big stomach to fit all that food in.

Here are some pictures of carnivores and herbivores and what they eat.

Dinosaurs

In computer time we have been learning how to use Microsoft Office.  This week we learnt how to insert wordart and clipart into our document.  Check out some of these cool documents.

Holiday Recounts

We have been learning how to write a recount.  A recount is when you write about something that has happened.  A recount must have the following things,

A title
An Orientation (who, what, when and where)
Events
An ending

Here are some of the great recounts we wrote about our holidays.

Landform Models

Last week we made models of different landforms out of playdough.  Have a look at our amazing creations!

S for snail

Wow!  This snail has an AB pattern on the shell and an ABCD pattern on the body.  Great work Matthew.
