The past few weeks Room 6 has been learning about space for our inquiry topic. We have looked at the different planets in the solar system and have found out lots of new facts about each one. We've got some great pieces of writing about each planet on our inquiry wall in class - come and visit us and have a read!
Now we're looking at the moon and we've learnt about the different phases. We made some moons out of paper plates, silver paint and labelled them correctly on our wall. We learnt a heap by listening and singing along with a rap Miss Walters found on Youtube that was really catchy! Here it is in case you want to learn more like us!
Check out our awesome art work on the wall - we had fun making the moons and tried our best to make the shapes of each phase accurate!
Yesterday afternoon we watched a rhythm lesson on Youtube. It taught us what each note meant. A whole note is a circle and it has 4 beats. A half note looks like a d, the round part is empty and it means 2 beats. Next is a quarter note and it looks like a d with the middle filled in. A quarter note is only 1 beat. Then there is the eighth note which looks like 4 quarter notes all lined up together and one of those means 1/2 a beat! We followed along with the people on the video to learn a song all about the beats of different notes. See if you can watch the video and try it out! Good luck!
