Literacy

Numeracy
During Numeracy, student have been working to develop their knowledge of division as sharing and grouping. We have also practiced solving worded problems for a range of operations by understanding what the question is asking and identifying key information.
Inquiry - Rules and Laws
The students have explored how values connect to current rules in society. We watched a video to explore the climbing of Uluru. We investigated the name 'Ayers Rock' and the importance of Uluru to the Anangu, the Aboriginal people of central Australia, as well as the concern for safety. The students we able to make connection to the value of safety of the people climbing, and respect of the local Aboriginal people's beliefs and laws.
