SENIORS' CLASS NEWS

This term the Seniors are exploring (and loving!) all things GEOGRAPHY. We launched into our unit by visiting Melbourne Museum and watching 'Extreme Weather' at the IMAX. We have been exploring glaciers, bushfires, floods, cyclones, hurricanes and much more. We have also been exploring the different ways homes and structures are built around the world to withstand different climates and extreme weather events.

We have been learning how to organise our research into 'SOLO maps' which are graphic organisers to sort information. 

Our writing focus has been on the organisation trait. We've been improving the structure of our writing with effective topic sentences and finding facts to support our arguments. We've been exploring the darker side of social media and pondering whether social media is appropriate for kids of our age.
