Fuse Cup and Digi-Tech – Years 3 , 5 and 6
FUSE CupThis week, our Year 5 and 6 classes have begun their competitions for Mario Kart. Students chose a partner and signed up for their year level knockout tournament.
Our Year 6 teams had their first-round heats on Thursday. It was great to see the amazing sportsmanship and respect shown by the students as well as the positive encouragement that was given throughout the entire first round!
We look forward to the next heats and for our Year 5 competition next Term!
Digital Technologies
In Year 3 we have been learning about representing data in different ways. Our task was to create a signpost for a classroom rule.
We discussed colours, sizes and symbols and realised that these need to be simple and based on current ideas so that our own signs could be easily understood. Symbols allow us to overcome language barriers and colours can help us to notice important information quickly and connect with our emotions.
After we created our signs, we uploaded them to Seesaw and recorded why we had made each of our design choices.
Persuasive writing in Year 3 Blue
In Year Three Blue, we have been diving into persuasive writing!
We have been exploring the structure of persuasive texts and the language features and devices that contribute to successful writing.
Our current persuasive topic is ‘Would you rather a dog or a cat as a pet?’ We are passionate and enthusiastic about sharing our opinions and ideas for both the dogs and cats ‘teams’ (Ayaan even made his very own cat statue decoration at home!).
We have been making cat and dog masks in class and are preparing to have a respectful debate by drafting some of our convincing arguments for each pet choice.
Some our convincing reasons include:
‘Cats don’t make a lot of mess. Dogs shed their hair and leave hair everywhere! Also, dogs might jump into water and make a mess everywhere. A cat won’t do that!’ – Zoya
‘Dogs are super fluffy. You can cuddle with them.’ – Thomas
‘Cats are not lazy…they actually play a lot! Also, they take showers on their own.’ – Veronika
‘Dogs are better because they can do tricks!’ – Sofia
‘Dogs don’t sleep all day. They are more playful than cats.’ – Aidan
We love voicing our opinions in Three Blue and we think persuasive writing is totally PAWesome!
