Writers and Reader’s Workshop
We will begin to explore spoken poetry, focusing on how rhythm, emotion, voice, and body language enhance performance. Through engaging activities, students will learn to analyse and apply these elements to their own work, deepening their understanding of poetry and self-expression.
Unit of Inquiry
We will continue our unit of inquiry—How We Express Ourselves—with a focus on uniqueness. The central idea of this unit is that people, both individually and collectively, express their uniqueness in various ways.
Mathematics
We will be exploring angles in the real world, area and perimeter. We will also be conducting chance experiments.
