The Room 2 learning juggernaut continued to roll along last week.
- On Friday we did another activity for our Geology topic: making a sedimentary rock. We started with a class shared reading of a short article about sedimentary rock. The students highlighted keywords: Sedimentary rock, erosion and sediment. We discussed how sediment is formed by erosion and how the sediment then forms into rocks. Then we used plaster of paris and sand to make layered sedimentary rocks. Your child probably brought their rock home on Friday (I hope they hardened properly).
- Good job to most people for getting homework books to school last Monday. Please send your child's homework book to school in their book bag tomorrow. If your child doesn't have their homework book, we still set up a new homework page anyway so they should always have homework with them on Monday.
- We went over to the Weetbix Triathlon today. It was a fantastic experience for the kids and I could thoroughly recommend it for next year to anyone who can make it over the hill with their child.
- Below are some pictures of the students making sedimentary rocks on Friday.
