Dear Parents and Students,<\/span><\/p>\n

This week has been another busy week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Please see below for notices and notes on our week 16 in review.<\/span><\/p>\n

Homework<\/b><\/p>\n

This week we have marked homework from the last week and a half and with positive results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For those studying hard and that have been able to move up a level in our spelling ranks, well done! As we near the December break, please encourage your children to engage with reading, writing and math daily throughout the break so that they are in a good place when we return.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reading, Writing and Inquiry<\/b><\/p>\n

For our writing showcase this week please see below for a link to two of our students’ personal narratives from a recent holiday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Watch this space for more to come.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bitter Coldness<\/span><\/a> By Luca<\/span><\/p>\n

The Stitches Holiday<\/span><\/a> By Juri\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This week students have continued to work on developing spelling, grammar and punctuation as well as their reading and writing skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of writing, our focus has been on adding more descriptive detail. Students this week have been working on describing different objects using powerful adjectives and rather than telling a story, focussing on painting a picture of these objects in the reader’s mind using words.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Students have also been working on writing endings to story starters. I am sure they would be only too happy to talk with you about these so please do ask them about their \u2018Big Vs. Bigger\u2019, or \u2018Best First Day Ever\u2019 stories.<\/span><\/p>\n

Students this week have also completed their class book \u2018Wonder\u2019 by R.J. Palacio by watching the film to compare the written word to the screenplay.<\/span><\/p>\n

For our Unit of Inquiry, students have this week continued to \u2018Tune in\u2019, \u2018Find out’ and have now begun to \u2018Sort out\u2019 information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Again the central idea and lines of inquiry for this unit are:<\/span><\/p>\n

Central Idea:<\/b><\/p>\n

Human migration is a response to challenges, risks and opportunities.<\/b><\/p>\n

Lines of Inquiry:<\/b><\/p>\n
