Highlight 

Selamat Siang!

Please enjoy this week's Independence Centre highlight written by Owen and Atharv in 3/4C.

 

Buddy bonding 

This week the 3/4s have been going into different classes and using our negotiation skills and teamwork skills. It has been really fun working with kids across all the 3/4 classes and lots of students enjoy doing different activities and making new friends as well!

 

Maths

This week in Maths we have been working on using money to buy ingredients for our camp recipes for our camp. We have been finding the cheapest buy, finding the total cost and calculating change. 

 

English 

This week in Reading the 3/4s have been working really hard with writing procedures about something that we want to teach people how to do in our camp such as ‘How to get ready for horse riding’, ‘How to make a burger’ and ‘How to make pancakes’. We also learnt about independent and dependent clauses to make our procedures more detailed.

 

 

Have a great week!
