Middle Unit

Could parents please provide a set of headphones for their child to support their learning at school.

Inquiry:

We have started looking at healthy living as part of our Inquiry unit. As part of this, we have been doing a ‘Daily Health Hustle’ where we have 5 minutes to run laps around the oval. We keep a tally of how many laps we do each day, and add them together at the end of the week. This is to help us to improve our fitness and emotional wellbeing. 

We have also been looking at healthy eating; we made ‘fruit kebabs’ last week to promote healthy eating in our lives. 

Maths: 

We have been looking at addition and subtraction in Maths over the last fortnight. Students have been playing a game this week called 100 laughs, where they think of various ways to make the number 100 (see photo below). 

Some addition strategies we have been learning about are: doubles, doubles + 1 and doubles + more. We will continue this focus in the coming weeks.
