Working on the Ipad

We have been learning to use a new app on the ipad.
We can choose the things we want in our picture and then we can write about it.  We will put more of our work on the blog as it gets finished.

Why do we come to school?

We have been thinking a lot this last week because we are learning how KC can help us with our learning.
Our first question was - "Why do we come to school?"

Once we had decided that we do a lot of learning at school, 

we talked about how we think we learn.

 Next we did some "wondering."

We asked ourselves a question that we want to know the answer to and we wrote it in our writing book.  Here are some of the things we wonder about.

Rosie: 

I wonder...How does a mermaid swim all the way to mermaid school?

Molly:

I wonder how ducks put their heads under the water to catch fish. At the lake I have seen them.

Jasmine:

I wonder if fish go down the waterfall.

Lily:

I wonder what the sunset looks like.

Emily:

I wonder how a hang glider flies and how it starts to fly in the sky.

Chrystal: 

I wonder how this noise gets in my ears. It hurts.

Nisha:

I wonder if Mum bought me an eating treat at the supermarket. I wonder what it might be. I wonder...

Wondering helps us to learn.  We can wonder about something and then try to find out the answer!

Birds

Last week we read a shared book about birds.  The book was non fiction which means the book was true. Some of the birds looked like this. They had been drawn.

Some of the pictures were photos, like this one.

We tried to draw our own pictures of birds.

We liked a video of a dancing bird in the book. 
But is that true? 
Do birds dance?        Well, yes they do!
