Mr. Pressey

This week we continued to work on our country research. We were taking sketch notes using pictures and words. We were researching animals in our countries, resources and landmarks. Mr. Pressey gave us books to research with and we also used the internet. We also finished off our bridges this week. We did our final tests with our bridges and one of the groups held up 37 blocks. The other thing we did to finish off our bridges was we did our final bridge reflections and Doceri video about everything that we learned. Ms. Nguyen helped us create some bridge art. We made silhouettes of bridges in a sunset. We used water colour paints which we mixed to get our sunsets. We used sharpie pens to make the silhouettes of our bridges. One of our favourite things we did this week was we started learning how to play the ukulele in Music. We learned how to play Lime in the Coconut.  To learn how to play we had to learn the chord C7. It was tricky to learn strumming patterns. Sport Hub c
