Learning in Weeks 7 & 8

Mathematics: We are continuing to learn about 'Money and Decimals' during our Maths Fluid Groups and will begin looking at 'Mass and Capacity' during our Applied Maths sessions. Students will also be completing a couple of fun Fraction solving lessons in our Friday Maths classes. 

Writing & Reading: Students will be revisiting Persuasive Writing and have the opportunity to design their own advertisement as well as review the structure of a Persuasive text. In Reading, we will focus on inferring meaning and making predictions as we read. 

Topic: Filming is well on its way and will continue this fortnight. Students will also begin the editing process of merging videos and adding voices and sound effects to their stop motion films.
