Learning this week:
In Week 7, we continue to learn about the impacts of Colonisation on the environment and people, through exploring a range of historical texts, media and class games.
In Reader’s and Writer’s Workshop, classes are exploring information texts and their features, while developing skills during spotlight sessions on note taking and summarising. Students are drafting an information text on the impacts of Colonisation.
Mathematics: We turn our focus to time and exploring duration (days, hours, minutes, seconds), analogue and digital clocks and understanding hands. We will also be solving problems using am and pm and use timetables.
Christian Studies: Exploring decision making and the 10 Commandments in the Bible; Thinking about listening, communicating, praying and influences, morals/ ethics through a range of Bible Stories to recognise how our decisions impact interactions and relationships with others.
