The class are back into routines and have been really excited and interested in our Inquiry lessons this week. We started on Tuesday with writing up our Floating and Sinking experiment. Students had to find objects that they thought would sink or float and predict what would happen and reasons for it. They also had to observe what happened and describe it. The second group of photos are students learning about millimeters, centimeters and meters. They had to estimate the length of classroom items and then measure them.
