Modified Homework this week– Biography
This week homework has been modified due to our overnight camp however please note that all G6 students are requested to conduct and record/ document an interview about migration due on Sunday morning at school. All students have been provided a template and recording sheet for this. Please support them in completing this because this is something we will use in our migration unit.
Reading, Writing and Inquiry
Central Idea:
Human migration is a response to challenges, risks and opportunities.
Lines of Inquiry:

This week students linked their camping experience to that of the unit central idea as well as working to research and write a biography of a famous immigrant.
Mathematics
Students continued to complete math maintenance and also to solve problems of time, reading graphs and charts as well as converting word problems into number problems to solve them.
