In preparation for the exhibition, students have signed up for workshops to help them in areas they feel they need support. These workshops include research skills, creating presentations, performing arts, making displays, oral presentations, interpersonal communication skills, organization/time management, and asking good questions. Students have been getting very excited about attending these workshops and have gained a lot from the workshops held so far.
Unit of Inquiry
This week for Unit of Inquiry we looked at the different forms of performing arts. We had discussions in class about their prior knowledge and the students issued topic related books from our school library to read in class. Following this we watched some performance clips and made comparisons between the performances.
Language
We continued reading various types of poetry. Classes then chose a form of poetry to focus on and the students were able to write their own poetry.
Mathematics
We continued exploring in more depth fractions, percentages and decimals for our new unit.
Please continue to encourage you child to use Mathletics and also practise times tables and division facts regularly.
Important Reminders
Parent conferences are on Tuesday 11th March 2.30-6.30. Remember to book a time to meet your child's teacher to discuss their progress so far this year. This can be done on the following link:
