Science Investigation & Soil Layers

In our latest Science Investigation we discovered what would happen when we collected soil and put it into a jar with water. We then had to shake the jar and after 3 days this is what happened....


They formed the SOIL LAYERS! From our science investigation we can now see the layers forming in our glass jars.
Task: In science today you need to draw and label the soil layers - Humus, Top Soil, Sub-Soil and Bedrock. Use the following link to assist you in finding out more information about the soil layers we are learning about in class.

Forms of Communication

Hello Parents and Guardians,

I would like to remind everyone about the different forms of communication that Piara Waters Primary School uses to communicate with the parents.

Please choose one form of communication in order to receive whole school information:

• The School App
• The School Website
• Twitter or Facebook page

Room 21 also has this blog as a form of communication to directly send information between the teacher, student and parents. However, this is generally focused around the classroom level. It would be fantastic if you could have one of these whole school communication forms to allow you to be informed about the latest messages either being sent by myself or at a whole school level.

Thank you

Simone Riley

Bibliography: A bibliography is a list or record of the resources or sources that you used to gather your information. The last slide on your keynote presentation should be titled: Bibliography and list the websites that you used. Look at this sample powerpoint to see an example.

You will need to research the information to include on your slides - and MUST put it in your own word - no copying and pasting. You may add images to your keynote or powerpoint too, as well as a limit of 2 effects per slide.
