Can we have rights without responsibility?
This is the main question that we are investigating in our Inquiry.
After asking many questions about what this could mean, we decided that we would all have to agree on what we meant by the word " responsibility ".
After lots of discussion, this is what we came up with.

Our busy week - Week 3
We had a busy week at school. Our mums and dads came to visit our teachers this week to discuss our progress during parent interviews.
In Literacy we are reading Myths and Legends and we are going to write our own Australian myth or porquoi story.
To launch our reading, we read many versions of Maui and the Sun and we watched a video of this as well. In art we used wax and dye to create our impressions of the anguish of the sun. We feel very proud of our work.
Take a look at the slide show of some of our completed paintings.

Inquiry learning
Today we launched into our Inquiry for this term.Our big question is:
'Can we have rights without responsibility?'
Our teacher, Mrs M started off with some questions to get us thinking about rights and responsibilities and then we came up with lots of questions of our own. After that we used a graphic organiser to record our thinking on what we thought "Responsibility" was - what it looked like, sounded like and felt like.
Then we got together in pairs and we shared and discussed our ideas with a partner. After that two sets of pairs joined, and four of us worked together to on our graphic organisers, comparing out ideas and thinking and discussing this word and what it actually means.

The end of a week
We have had a good start to Term 3 and everyone is keen and eager to learn and have fun at school.
This week we have been striving for accuracy in spelling in our writing. We have done a dictation exercise each morning and we can't believe how much we have improved in one week.
We have also started reading a selection of myths and legends and we have read many version of the myth "Maui and the Sun".
Today we started some art work on this myth. We will show you our pictures when they are finished.
We have been talking about questions, the types of questions and we looked at some pictures of the Olympic Games and we had to work in pairs and write down as many questions that we could think of. This was quite challenging and was much more difficult than we thought it would be.
Today was Nelson Mandela's 9oth birthday and we read about him on the internet and we sent him an online birthday greeting.
It was also Nicholas's birthday this week- Happy Birthday Nic!
We also had a chance to work on the laptops this week and we started to set up our own diaries on our class website.
It was a good week.
