Start Of Term 3

Term 3 Blog Post: 1st August 2016

Since the start of Term 3, LAVA has been very busy doing many things, like building shelters for our group’s chosen animal.

After we finished our last few touches to make  our animal’s shelter perfect, we started making Scale Drawings of our shelters.

We started learning about our new unit called The Environment. We came up with questions about the environment that we wanted to research. We wrote these down on  Post-It Notes and stuck them on the board in one of four different categories: Conservation, Renewable and Nonrenewable Resources, Global Warming and Biodiversity.

On Wednesday Week 1, we got into groups of 4-5 to design this terms matrix. My group’s title for the unit and 4 names instead of Novice or level 1, Apprentice or level 2, Practitioner or level 3 and Expert was... you can guess. We had a secret vote on our deep understandings.

Our group and another group were chosen. See you next time for another exciting update at LAVA!
