DISCO

It was great to see so many Room 16 students and parents at the disco. We managed to get a couple of pictures but unfortunately many didn't work out because of the lighting.

Our Inquiry

Today we used the chromebooks and iPads to search for information about Desert habitats and Rainforest habitats.  We entered 'rainforest facts for kids' into the search engine on Google to get relevant information.  We then presented this information on a Venn Diagram.
