Reader’s and Writer’s workshop:
We will be:
Setting up our writer’s notebook
Exploring how writer’s spark ideas
Learning how to write like a reader
Continuing to build our reading stamina
Mathematics: We will be shifting our focus to chance experiments; repeated experiments and the likelihood of events. We will also be teaching strategies to support number operations, with a focus on addition and subtraction.
Unit of Inquiry: We have commenced our investigation into How the World Works. Over the coming weeks, students will explore and investigate heat transfer, solids, liquids and gases and forces, through fair and unfair testing. Looking through the lens of Function, Form and Change, students will formulate questions.
STEM – Making in week 5 and 7
To prepare for making, students will need to bring in some materials from home such as cardboard boxes and containers. These can be brought in and stored in the STEM room. We will supply things like alfoil, glad wrap, tape and glue. Thankyou!
Reminders:
