In The Classroom
Maths
This fortnight we have been focusing on recognising patterns and working out the rule to different number patterns, in particular growing patterns. We have also looked at temperature and how it affects us.
Literacy
We have compared and contrasted a range of texts, cross examining them with books that were then later turned into movies or short films. Recognising and understanding why and then connecting it to yourself is a comprehension skill that we have been practising.
Writing
In writing sessions, we are learning to improve our word choice when writing short pieces of texts. This includes text specific words that demonstrate our understanding of the topic and engaging words that captures our audience's attention!
Inquiry
This term, our Inquiry focus is on the "War on Waste". Students will learn how the recycling processes work, what happens to land fill and how we can protect and sustain our future. We have an excursion scheduled in mid November where students will get to see first hand how their recycling efforts are used!
As part of our Inquiry Unit, some students chose to make instruments out of recycled material!
2025 Scholastic Book Fair
Today, all of the students went to the Library and had an early preview of the amazing books, posters and knick-knacks for sale at the annual Book Fair. An email was sent out to all families with the details of how and when to purchase items from the stock available. It is attached again here for your convenience.
