School Expectations

As a task for the beginning of Term 4, we had to create a poster about the expectations at Glen Taylor School. This is a way of remembering the values and vision at GTS! We hope to see a lot more of these expectations at Glen Taylor School. Take a look!

Food from South America

Each class in the middles and seniors were given a continent to learn more about. Particularly more about the food that they eat. Room 11 were given the continent South America. We were given the task to create a creative slide including the information needed. Take a look at the slide below and see if you can learn something new from it. 

Graphics Time!

For our very first class of graphics, we created our very own toondoo comics. Here is my toondoo comic about our graphics class. I can't wait to do more fun activities in graphics class with the rest of the students and Mr Pineda. 

Enjoy!

Maritime Museum

Today Room 11 went on a trip with Room 12 and 13 to Maritime Museum. We got to see many rare things that you wouldn't see nowadays. Maritime Museum is a museum particularly about Life On Sea. We got to see different types of boats and artwork. We even saw an old ice cream shop! When the clock hit 12, a cannon was shot. BANG! The children glared with amazement. We then went of to sea and before we knew it the harbor bridge was just above us. The wind blew hard against the boat as we sailed to shore. We then grabbed our bags on off we went back to school. 

 It was a day to remember!

The Human Body

This term, we are focusing on Healthy Choices for Inquiry. The Human Body comes under Healthy Choices so Room 11 were assigned to get into partners to create presentations on The Human Body. Here is a mini presentation about 4 elements of the human body! Enjoy!

For Inquiry, we are focusing on healthy choices. This means our health, hygiene and also the food that we eat. We have been learning about the many different ways that we can keep healthy and the consequences we get if we aren't healthy.

To enjoy our learning, we decided to do a fun activity involving sugar and our creative thinking. We got into groups and estimated the amount of sugar in different drinks. We then used a teaspoon to measure our sugar and put it into zip lock bags. Using those bags we created decorative posters to hang on our Inquiry wall. Take a look at the awesome work we did in class.

Don't Sit If You Want To Keep Fit!

Do you want to keep fit? Then don't take a seat. Stand up!

For reading I read an interesting article about how standing can keep you fit. Apparently, standing makes your heart beat faster and is good for your health. It is a way of keeping fit! Interesting right! Sitting down for a long amount of time can cause pain in many parts of your body and affect your bones but yes, standing can affect the lower part of your legs. After reading the article I used all the interesting facts that I learnt and created a poster including tips. Take a look at my awesome poster and comment what you think about it!
