Mr Dunn’s Class Update T1 W9

Hello everyone!

I have an important update regarding next week’s trip. Due to the weather, I have moved the trip from Tuesday to Thursday. I was informed that the activity would be canceled in the event of heavy rain.

We’ve had a super productive week filled with fun and exciting new learning experiences. Here are some highlights:

In Literacy, we concluded our unit on “Seal Surfer.” To wrap up, the children independently wrote letters about an event from the story to assess their learning. To support them, we developed a careful plan, thinking about the features of a letter and ensuring they included examples of the key concepts we focused on in the unit.

In Maths, the children continued to work on subtraction using the column method. Gradually, we built upon this method to understand how to borrow or exchange when the top number in a column is smaller than the bottom number. Later in the week, we also explored estimating to assist with addition and subtraction, applying our previous knowledge of rounding numbers.

In IPC, we covered a lot this week, exploring the skeleton, muscles, and what we need to keep our bodies healthy. The children created visual aids to help them learn about key bones and their functions. They also drew diagrams to explain how muscles work, sorted foods into different food groups, and started to creat a guide on healthy eating.
