Inquiry Centre

 Highlight 

Selamat Siang, 

Even with only four days, we have had a busy week in the Inquiry Centre! To consolidate our understanding of procedures, we had a go at writing a recipe to make pizza and then cooked them. It was such a highlight to use the Cafe Studio. 

In Reading, we have been focused on preparing for Book Week by reading some of the shortlisted texts. As a class, we discussed why they might have been selected for awards and the author's purpose when writing. We also joined a Zoom with the author Andrea Rowe to learn about what life is like as a real-life author. It has also been fantastic to spend time in our beautiful library space, exploring different books and borrowing. Please remember to pack a library bag!

In Maths, we explored growing and shrinking number patterns and challenged ourselves to define the rules of these patterns using our knowledge of skip counting. 

Finally, we had a wild time celebrating Science Week with our wildlife incursion! Thank you to Steph and Jess for organising such an incredible experience.

Have a great week,

Miss Emmett, Em Glen & Jonny Hobbs, Katrina Chooi, Miss Shaye, Cassie Brisbane & Beth Szentesi
