Some South Africa Facts

We have been learning how to use google drive the last few weeks with Miss Walters in class and Mr Meyer on a Friday afternoon when we go to the computer room. We each have our own file that Miss Walters set up in our class drive.

We know that first we have to find our named folder and click on that before we go anywhere else, because then it will automatically save it into our folder! We tried using Google Docs and now we have practiced using Google Slides to make a class presentation with all of our facts on it!

Have a flick through our slides to see if there are any facts we can teach you about South Africa! We have done lots of research using the internet and now we have created a slide show to share our knowledge!

We hope you enjoy it!

Factfile Friends

Last week on Friday Room 6 went to the computer lab and went on google drive. 

They went onto their folders and did a google slide about South African facts. Room 6 wrote one fact each and had to write by their name. Some people had pictures and others didn't.

This week on Friday they are going to share their facts with the syndicate. Then four people are going to share one fact each about South African foods. Room 6 is also going to teach the syndicate how to say the vowels in Afrikaans.

Room 6, good luck!

We Started With South Africa...

Our Inquiry topic for the next few weeks is all about a country... We are learning about South Africa!

We started off listing all the things we already knew about South Africa.... We used our prior knowledge to list everything we thought could be correct about the country and people in South Africa.



Then we made a big list of questions for things that we wanted to find out - is one of your questions on our list?


Next we're going to research and find out the answers to some of these questions as a class and record our learning in our Inquiry modelling book, then we can share our knowledge with our Junior syndicate on Thursday! 

Keep your eyes peeled for new facts about South Africa! Perhaps you could tell us some things you know about South Africa?
