Semester 2, Week 15

As the end of year looms closer we are working hard to complete the many requirements of our syllabus. Even though it is getting hotter and the children are showing signs of tiredness, enthusiasm continues to run high. Our inquiries into the solar system and Earth are well underway and a lot of new knowledge has been gained in recent weeks. It is pleasing that different items are being brought in from home to add to our resources and this is an indication of the high level of interest. The experiments exploring Earth's uniqueness, that were sourced at home and shared in class, were a great way to consolidate understandings. We are moving on to individual inquiries now to answer questions that have been raised along the way. From the specific interest areas we will share our findings so that everyone can benefit.

A lot of reading is being done for the unit which helps to develop research and recording skills. This is very important in the process of learning how to identify and use key information. Maths has continued with fractions, including ratio and proportion, and understanding how these are used in real life situations.

Please view the video of last week's activities.
