Term 3 Begins

We have finally started Term 3 after a well deserved 2 week break. Everyone is feeling refreshed and ready to get back into some learning.

This term we are starting off by learning about music and musical instruments. We have looked at soundscapes and how sound effects are made in movies and will be making some ourselves!

We have been writing recounts about the exciting things we have done in the holidays. It was very cool to see what everyone has been doing in their break.

Extinction of the Dinosaurs

We have been learning all about dinosaurs. We learnt that they were huge and that they roamed the earth more than 65 million years ago.

One thing we read about was the extinction of the dinosaurs. There are many theories about how they all died out. The ideas that we thought made the most sense were the asteroid hitting the earth and volcanoes causing havoc.

We recreated these volcanic eruptions in class with our "Dino-ramas" to see how the dinosaurs may have lived out their last moments.
