This week, the students have considered their views and beliefs on a range of topics and have practised trying to persuade others to support their viewpoint, using the learned persuasive strategies.

3/4E - Miss Margarita

3/4E have been working on location and direction- we have learnt about maps, coordinate systems, compasses, keys, scales and utilising all these things to give accurate directions. This week, students paired up to make their own school treasure map and wrote directions to their treasure. They then swapped with another group who followed the directions. It was so much fun to see where the directions led us!
