Unusual Animals

Room 5 worked together to make this slideshow about unusual animals. Each student had a different animal to create a slide about. We were learning how to use the research tool in google presentation to find information and photos, how to create an effective layout and how to use colour effectively. Do you know the name of any more unusual animals we could find out about? If you do, please leave us a comment!

Research Skills - skimming and scanning

In reading, we are learning how to research. This week we have learned the difference between facts and opinions, how to write open ended questions and how to skim and scan for keywords. Miss T photocopied some information about lions from a non-fiction book and we had to skim and scan with our buddy and highlight the key words. Key words help to keep us focused on finding information to answer our questions. Next week, we will be answering our questions and presenting our information. Stop by our blogs next week for an update!
