Hello Everyone!
We had an incredibly fun week, with our class trip on Thursday and followed by a Halloween party on Friday. The children were excellent on the trip, and I hope it sparked their interest in our new IPC unit, “Scavengers and Settlers.” They had a fantastic time at the party and looked amazing in their costumes. A big thank you to the PTA and all the parents who helped organize such a wonderful event!
Here are a few highlights from the rest of the week:
In Maths, we focused on using inverse operations to check answers, as well as exploring different strategies and methods to improve efficiency. We also dedicated a day to reviewing key concepts from the unit before completing the end-of-unit assessment.
In English, we began a new unit on historical fiction, which ties in nicely with our current IPC unit. The children will explore the text “Stone Age Boy” by Satoshi Kitamura to deepen their understanding. They made predictions based on images of artefacts from the Stone Age and illustrations from the book. We also examined how to use direct speech to illustrate the relationships between characters.
In IPC, the children were divided into groups and created posters as an Exit Point to showcase some of their learning. They also developed a script and will present their work after the holiday.
