Favourite Children’s Books

What is your favourite children’s book?

Your task is to bring your favourite children’s book (picture book) to class. They should be picture books that are aimed at children from about 5-8 year olds (not novels or comics!).

It is important that your book is FICTION and tells a story. It must have a beginning, a middle (climax of the story) and an ending (resolution).

You need to bring in the book by THURSDAY. If you do not have a book you need to borrow one or get one out of the library at lunchtime.

Here are some of my favourites! What are yours?

Murder under the Microscope- Homework Week 1 (Environmental Issues)

Murder under the Microscope- Homework Week 1 (Environmental Issues)

In our first week we will be investigating the different environmental issues that may be involved in our environmental crime.

There are a lot of potential issues (ten in total- Mr Sim will do one), so I have given one issue to each group. This will mean you will need to do a lot less work!

Click Here if you have forgotten which group you are in.

This week’s homework involves investigating an environmental issue. EVERYONE must complete their homework task. DO NOT leave it until the last day, as it will take approximately 30 minutes per night to finish the whole activity. On Monday of Week 2 we will be using all this information.

Click on your group number in order to access your homework for the week (You will also be given this on Tuesday at school).

Group 1- Climate change
Group 2- Water temperature
Group 3- Runoff
Group 4- Nutrients
Group 5- Land use
Group 6- Flow, silt and sediment
Group 7- Stormwater
Group 8- Salinity
Group 9- Vegetation

This is a tricky homework assignment! If you find a great website, please add a comment so others can use it. I will also do the same!
Do not forget to ask mum or dad or anyone else for help as well!

Good Luck!
