Home Learning Presentations - Week 9

Each term we complete three pieces of Home Learning with a family member. Here are some examples on what we have been working on for our Week 9 presentations.

Shelby Smith - "I wrote a profile about my niece. Some of the things that I found out about her were her favourite sayings and colours." 

Josh Gibbs - "I wanted a particular toy, but it is not yet available at The Warehouse, so with help from home I decided to make one of my own and here is the result. I discovered that it spins better on a hard surf than on the carpet."

Savanna Hamblyn - "I saw a piece of canvas art at my grandmother's house, so I decided to make one of my own when I was visiting. I had to get a canvas, a type of straw that you can get from a florist and paint. I glued on the straw, creating a pattern and then I painted over the top and here is the finished piece."

Jarred Bowden - "I have been practising drawing different animals from the ocean and here are some of the pieces that I have completed."

Emily McLaughlin - "Did you know that carrots used to be purple? I decided to find out more about purple carrots and then grow my own after we found a carrot that had got stuck in one of our pipes at home. I have planted some seeds and they are just beginning to grow. I'm looking forward to seeing what they taste like." 

Brodie Cahill - "I completed a canvas with help from Mum on our family dog Jack. We have just had to have him put down as he was very old and he could no longer walk properly. My Dad got him when he was only 21 or 22. We really miss him!"

Jackson Hendry - "I built a ramp with Dad for our dog Bella because she can no longer get up and down from Mum and Dad's bed. Now she can walk up herself without one of us having to lift her up. From this work I learnt how to make a ramp, to use tools safely and what tools you should leave for an adult to use."

                                 

Tiaki Maindonald - " I made some chocolate brownie biscuits with help from my Nana. Once the mixture was ready, they took 15 minutes to bake. I chose to do this activity for my Home Learning because I like to eat these biscuits!"

Abbey Parke - " I learnt how to read a recipe, so that I could make cupcakes. My Mum and friend Sophie helped me to make them, so that I could bring them to school to share."
