Literacy

This week we have been continuing our reading of Kai and the Monkey King. The students wrote a diary entry from the perspective of one of the characters in the book. We also focused on sentences with relative clauses such as:

  • The woman who visited me in the hospital was very kind.
  • The umbrella that I bought last week is already broken.
  • The man who stole my backpack has been arrested.
  • The weather that we had this summer was beautiful.

IPC

We continued our unit ‘What Price Progress?’ by investigating plastics. The student made presentations about different types of plastics and considered the benefits and harmful effects of plastics on our world. We particularly enjoyed investigating this website that models where plastics deposited in the ocean from different places in the world will end up.

We also made an inventory of all the different types of technology used around the school and that are used in our daily lives.

Don’t Forget

  • After-school activities start next week – there is still time to sign-up
  • Homework was sent home on Thursday and is due on Thursday
  • Music is now on Wednesday and there is some homework to do
  • PE is on Tuesday and Thursdays

Have a great weekend, and welcome back to Ms Temple next week!
