The Ice Age - Learning to ask searching questions


In teams we were learning to ask searching questions about  - "The Ice Age".  Using a question starter we thought of questions we had about the Ice Age.  Even though we may not have been the person writing the question we had to help the writer spell tricky words.  Then as a team we had to find where the question went on the matrix.  We have been researching and finding answers to the questions.  Some of us asked experts - our friends, parents and teachers, while other people googled or use the encarta encyclopedia programme on our computers.  We all enjoyed reading non-fiction texts to try and find out more!

We are posting our questions on the question matrix!

Big Buddies

The children from Room 12 are our big buddies.  On Friday they helped us publish our poems on the computer.  Then they showed us how to embed the poem onto a wiki page.  Some of us played games, drew pictures or read books while we waited for a computer.  The Room 12 buddies were great teachers and were very patient.

 Two big buddies!  You are lucky Jess!


We were concentrating very hard.


It is fun learning from each other.
