This week has been very busy in Room 14. We have completed our persuasive writing unit with our final piece addressing the issue - Should energy drinks be banned for children under 18? We spent some time researching this issue after reading an article about the amount of caffeine and sugar they contain. We watched some youtube clips and everyone also researched for some facts to support their opinions.
We have also finished our energy posters looking at the pros and cons of different forms of energy. Well done to Laura who won the electocity creating competition and Lachie who was a close second. Now we are working on our Inquiries - everyone has chosen an area of interest and developed their questions to investigate. There are many interesting inquries underway including the making of a movie about the plight of the albatross, making an eco friendly home, developing an edible garden for the foods room, looking at water pollution in the Leith, making an e-book on the yellow eyed penguin, and some trying to make a wind turbine model.
