Reading, Writing and Inquiry
Students have been reading articles related to their exhibition. They have learnt to gather information from different sources and say it/write it in their own words ()Paraphrasing and Summarizing). They also worked in their group actively, designing and sending out surveys, doing interviews and making observations. This process involves a great deal of communication and students are beginning to develop the skill of writing a formal email. Please see this link to view these updates.
How you can help at home:
Please have a conversation with your child about what they did this week. Some groups have planned to explore the possibility of contacting some experts in the field and visit some places. So your child may talk to you about this; it will be awesome if you can arrange this for your child.
Maths:
This week, students further practised adding and subtracting like fractions as well as continuing with their integrated exhibition work to create and send out a survey to different groups of people to find out more information for their exhibition projects.
How you can help at home:
Please also help your children use their Nessy, RAZ kids, Epic and Prodigy accounts for numeracy and literacy practice as part of their homework.

Homework
This week for homework, students have continued their daily reading, Math basic facts practice, Nessy/ RAZ/ Epic and weekly spelling words. Students have also been asked to continue their research and document their learning in relation to their exhibition topics.
As always, spending time with your children at home reading, writing and playing maths games is a very valuable shared learning time.
Worth repeating:
Thank you.
As always, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us
