Learning in Weeks 7 & 8 

Mathematics: This fortnight we will focus on a variety of 'Measurement and Geometry' topics including Time and Coordinates/Mapping. Students will also complete a number of 'My Numeracy' activities during Week 8.

Writing & Reading: Students will be reading about each of Australia's states and territories and using this information to create a poster about their group's chosen state/territory. Some of the information that they will research includes the following: population, land size, state flag, floral emblem, animal emblem, capital city, natural features, manmade features and coat of arms. 

Topic: This fortnight we will further extend our Reading and Writing sessions by researching key information about Australia's states and territories.
