1. The Week That Was!
• Every Friday we are going to ask different
children to write on the blog and reflect on the
learning that has happened during the week.

2. What makes a good inquiry question?
In Tim‟s workshop on Tuesday, we looked at what
makes a good inquiry question?
We had to made up inquiry questions on the
board. It was how can we reduce our schools water
consumption? Then we had to decide what
questions would help us to understand more
about our inquiry. By Jasmine.

3. Ultranet Workshop
• On Tuesday with Meredith‟s Ultranet Workshop, we learnt
how to write a comment on a message board. A message
board is a collaborative space where people can write
comments and others can respond to them. We wrote a
response to the blog question: “Should there be a Tax on Junk
Food?”
• Another thing we learnt in the workshop was how to add a
page on the “Wiki”. A Wiki is a big space where you can make
a lot of pages and put different things on it.
• We added a Learning Goal page, and a Reflection page.
• From Meredith‟s workshop we learnt how to add pages on a
Wiki and how to write a comment on a Message Board!

4. Co-operative Games Workshop
This week with Mike we did co-operative games.
It was hard to do some of the games because
some of the other people didn‟t cooperate or
listen.
The human knot and the multiple standing games
were the hardest to do because of those reasons.
My favourite was the balancing game because
people didn‟t make to much noise and people
listened. All in all it was really fun.

5. Target Heart Rate Workshop
• On Tuesday we had a maths workshop with
Tony on our pulse and heart rate.
• We did a couple of activities and then checked
our pulse for our BPM (beats per minute) and
found out our maximum BPM.
• There were two ways to check our pulse. One
was on our neck. One was near our wrist.

6. District Swimming Sports
• On Thursday the 1st of March we had a district
swimming carnival at Fitzroy swimming pool.
• We competed against other schools to go to the
next level which is Division. We had a number of
people from our school that competed . A lot of
our students got through to the next level .Good
luck people who got through to Division!!!!

7. Poker Face: Place value game
Today we learnt to play a card game about place value called Poker
Face. Meredith taught us how to play. Firstly you had to get into a
group of 3, 4 or 5. Then you dealt out the cards. Each player got 4
cards. The ace represented 1 and there were no 10‟s kings, queens.
Jacks and the jokers had a value of 0. The aim of the game was to get
the highest 4 digit number. You don‟t want the other players to see
your cards. You can snatch cards off other people and give them one of
your cards in return. You would probably give them your lowest card
because you want the highest number. You can also get a card from the
deck and put one of your cards down in return. You can also play the
game with the aim to get the lowest 4 digit number if you prefer. You
can choose a time the game ends or when the deck has run out of cards.
When the game is over you all lay out your cards.

8. Persuasive Writing
• This week we learnt more things about a how to
make a good persuasive text. We planned and
wrote persuasive texts on the topic “Summer is
better than Winter”. We used emotive language
to emphasise our view. The more experienced
writers, got on the Ultranet and wrote an „chain‟
persuasive text. First Meredith wrote one
sentence and we continued by making
comments to the first. It was fun and
challenging. Sam
