Cause and Effect

We are learning about Cause and Effect.

The CAUSE is WHY something happened.
The EFFECT is WHAT happened.

Words that help us to identify Cause and Effect are:
so, because, therefore, since, 
if, then, so that, cause and effect 

You can find practice activities on our class wiki under "Literacy."

Our Fun Tray Labels


In Room 14 we have tables not desks so we store some of our things in trays. We had a lot of fun making our tray name labels.

First we created avatars on the website “Weeworld”.

Next we made QR voice codes on the website “QR voice”. We typed information about ourselves into the website and it created a QR code for us.

Then chose our castle themed background labels from another website called “Sparklebox”. 

Lastly we placed everything together on a pages document and chose the font for our names.

You are welcome to come and visit us in Room 14 to read our QR codes. Don’t forget to bring your iPad with the QR reader app on it!

Keep the Ocean Clean - Sea Week

)


KEEP THE OCEAN CLEAN
I asked my friends, the dolphins, what each of us could do

To help them survive another million years or two.

And the dolphins said:
 

Chorus
"Keep the ocean clean!
That's the most important thing.

Please . . .
Pick your trash up off the beach.
Recycle 'most everything.

Find out what pollutes the sea.
And ask your friends to help keep the ocean clean.

After all, the ocean is our home," said:
(my friends the dolphins) (the fascinating sharks, oh yeah)

After the all the ocean is our home.
 


I asked the fascinating sharks what each of us could do

To help them survive another million years or two.

And the pointy snouted blue and the hammerhead too said:


"You know what to do, you know what to do.
You know what to do!" (to Chorus)
 

"Imagine," said the sea turtle,
"That you're as hungry as can be."
 Well a plastic bag floating by looks a lot like a sea jelly."
(And sea turtles love sea jellies!)
"But swallowing a plastic bag would be the end of me.
So please keep all kinds  of plastic out of the sea."

"Keep it clean, please!"   


Final Chorus
"Keep the ocean clean!
That's the most important thing.
Please . . .

Pick your trash up off the beach.
Recycle 'most everything.
Find out what pollutes the sea.

And ask your friends to help keep the ocean clean,

After all, the ocean is our home," said the hungry sea turtles.
 
"After the all the ocean is our home," said the whales and
 the fish and the sea otter and the tide pool creatures.                    
"After all, the ocean is our home," said the seals and
the sea lions and the walruses and Oxford the Octopus.  
 

"After all, the ocean  is our home.

After all, the ocean is our home."

Check out our Knight's Castle


This is our classroom castle which is split into two areas. 
Our reading space and "quiet" writing space.
You might just be able to see the dungeon.
This is a dark and quiet secret space for independent learners!
Do you like working in quiet learning spaces?
