Mr Dunn’s Class Update T1 W6

Hello everyone!

We’ve had an exciting week filled with lots of learning and hard work in each subject, here are some of the highlights.

In English, our class answered comprehension questions about the text “The Seal Surfer” and explored writing a recount from a different perspective. Afterwards, the students examined the features of a letter, highlighting and labeling these on an example as we plan to practice writing our own letters over the next few weeks.

We began a new unit in math focused on addition and subtraction. The students practiced adding and subtracting 1s, 10s, 100s, and 1000s. They utilized their partitioning skills from the previous unit, especially when crossing place value boundaries.

During our IPC lessons, we investigated how our ears work and learned about sound. The students created doodle notes in comic strip format to illustrate their understanding, incorporating drawings and explanations. Additionally, they made pan pipes to explore how different sounds are produced. We also examined our teeth; the students used mirrors to identify different types and wrote about each one’s function.
