Inquiry Centre

Highlight 

Selamat Siang, 

We’ve had an amazing week in the Inquiry Centre! A highlight has been the opening of the Junior Playground this week. It was wonderful to see students on the playground and making innovative creations in the sandpit. 

In Literacy, we continued our focus on narrative writing. It was fantastic to see students follow the correct structure and begin to include adjectives which engage the audience. We also used the text ‘How to Heal a Broken Wing’ by Bob Graham to investigate how colours in a text can create mood and influence the reader. 

In Maths, students learnt about division and how to use arrays to represent sharing. Through this, they began to see the connection between multiplication and division. We will continue to expand on division and multiplication strategies next week. 

Have a great week,

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

Reminders

• Our library is open! Please ensure your child has their library book and bag on their day.
• Whilst Pokemon cards are a lot of fun, we are asking that these cards only be bought to school on a Friday when Pokémon club is on.
• We are asking for students to leave small toys at home as some of the toys that have recently been brought to school are going missing which of course brings great disappointment.
• Students are growing and at times very hungry! They are encouraged to bring some fruit/vegetables to have during a fruit break mid-morning.
