Reach for the stars

This week we have been looking further at having a Growth Mindset, tying it in with our value of the term: Creativity. We have talked about never giving up, trying new things and looking at 'mistakes' or 'dead ends' as opportunities. As a reminder we made "Reach for the Stars' bookmarks.

Decorating our creations with stars also helped remind us of our blend for the week- 'st'.

Science and Inquiry with Room 12

Today we started our Inquiry Unit for Term 4. We are looking at how what we do today impacts the future. Our focus is on Sustainability and in particular rubbish: What it is? How much do we make? and What happens to it after it leaves our hands?
We collected all the rubbish we created while eating our morning tea and then our lunch. We sorted the rubbish into groups (Yuk!) and then buried it.(Huh?) 

Our morning tea rubbish sorted into groups.

After our lunch rubbish was added in!

We will dig it back up in 7 or 8 weeks to see what has happened to it... watch this space!
