This week in our Unit of Inquiry, students continued exploring space and our place in the universe. They investigated what life might be like on different planets, explored the concept of the habitable (Goldilocks) Zone, and learned how Jupiter helps protect Earth by attracting or deflecting asteroids and comets. In English, students explored concrete poetry, analysing how the arrangement of words and the shape of a poem can communicate meaning before creating their own concrete poems. In Mathematics, students continued developing their understanding of multiplication and division with larger numbers, applying efficient strategies and written methods to solve increasingly complex problems while explaining their mathematical thinking.
Photos from the week can be found here.
Next week:
- Monday: Grade 3 Mini Market – Students can bring 1-5 riyals to purchase items if they wish link
- Thursday: Upper Primary Summer Music Concert 12:00-1:00pm in the Mazoon
Next week, students will continue to explore the implications of space exploration, investigating both the benefits and challenges of exploring and potentially living beyond Earth. They will consider environmental, ethical, and technological impacts of future space exploration, while reflecting on how curiosity and innovation continue to expand our understanding of the universe. In English, students will continue developing their poetry skills focusing on a different type of poetry.
We look forward to seeing you on Thursday at 12 for the Upper Primary Summer Music Concert.
Warm regards,
Miss Megan & Mr. G
