Inquiry & Language:
Exhibition Journal: Documenting the learning journey (process and product)…For our exhibition unit, as in the homework description, students have been recording their research findings and reflections in their unit of Inquiry book. This creating a journal and log of what they have done, what they have discovered as well as their thoughts and feelings in light of this. Please do look at this and talk with your children about it. This is where you will gain insight into everything about what is happening for the Exhibition unit. Next week on Wednesday and Thursday grade 6 will be presenting their exhibition to the rest of the school and the ABIS learning community. As Grade 6 parents you are also invited to attend a special showing from 5:00pm to 6:30pm on Wednesday afternoon. The students are working hard on their projects and are all quite excited about this. We look forward to seeing you all there.
Just a few more days to go for the exhibition… Please see the invitation featured here.
How you can help at home: Please have a conversation with your child about what they did this week as the excitement builds up to their exhibition on Wednesday and Thursday of next week.
Maths: This week, students revisited their knowledge of data handling by looking at responses to the surveys they had sent earlier and started analysing their related concepts from different perspectives. They are getting more familiar with the use of pie/circle graphs in polls. They are also figuring out ways to put together varied responses to their open-ended questions.
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.
