Reader’s Workshop: To link with our Inquiry, we will explore different perspectives in literature.
Mathematics: We will be revising and exploring the relationship between multiplication and division to finish off the term.
Unit of Inquiry: We will continue to explore peacemaking throughout Australian and World history, with a specific focus on 1780 – 1788. We will then be focusing on key peacemakers in Australian history.
Reminders:
Premier’s Be Active Challenge: Students can join us as we complete the challenge as a class or individually track and record their physical activities over a four–week period. We will likely do this as a class at the beginning of Term 3.
Glow Week
Dear Parents and Families,
If you do not do 10c recycling but have cans and bottles at home that go in the normal recycling, we would love to collect these for Glow Week. There are bags out the front of the maintenance shed to deposit these into, otherwise please put them in the wire bins in the courtyard.
Kind regards,
The GLOW Week Team
