Well done to everyone that has been in this situation- it is impressive to see that students are able to take this in their stride and find a \u2018work around\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Homework<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week for homework, as we are online, we are very mindful of the amount of screen time students are having, this has been minimal. Students have been asked to learn their spelling words to read hard copy books and to revise their basic facts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Reading, Writing and Inquiry<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Central Idea:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Human migration is a response to challenges, risks and opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lines of Inquiry:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reasons why people migrate\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Migration patterns\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The effects of migration on communities and individuals\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week the main focus has been on completing biographies of famous immigrants as well as the marking of this against specific success criteria. Students were able to peer review and reflect on their learning in light of this. Please ask your children about their research because they have done great work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Next week we will begin a new unit with the central idea: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Human actions impact climates.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For this we will inquire into&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Human and natural causes of climate change\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Effect of climate change on animals\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Effect of climate change on biomes <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Mathematics<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week for math online, as we do in class, we completed our math maintenance and also worked on problems of measurement, time and angles. This week we also began a new unit on shape and space that links in with geometry. For this students have been learning about different shapes, what to call them and the different attributes of these shapes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Visual Art<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week we continue to work on our creative art as a form of self expression. Please see our photo page for examples of student work in this area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>PSPE<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week we have been following along and copying an online instructor doing a workout and learning about nutrition at the same time as answering questions about the exercises and nutrition, that\u2019s what we have been up to. We enjoyed this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Next week:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Next week it will be a shorter week however the plan is to be back on campus, live and in person.\u00a0 I will send our usual Sunday morning email about the week ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As we move back into on campus, Mask to Mask, in person learning next week, please see\u00a0 a few important reminder below:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We will continue to stay in grade level bubbles until further notice.\u00a0 This includes lunch and recess, eating and playing in our designated areas.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Miss Margot will visit classrooms for Information Literacy classes rather than classes visiting the library.
