They were then asked to critique this piece and write about the artist as well as the piece saying what they either liked or did not like about it at the same time mentioning how the art piece was made, what the material was that was used to make it, the motivation or message behind the piece and so on.\u00a0 Students also learned about \u2018DeepFake\u2019\u2019AI completing a compass points exercise about this. The students also learnt about \u201cClick bait\u2019 online as a form of enticement and visual art designed to encourage \u2018clicks\u2019 on the internet. This was very interesting. We also looked at movie posters and developed an understanding of the elements that make up one &#8211; title, tag line, actors, credits, release date, colour scheme, visual and technical info. Students have started designing a creative poster of their own and they will present this next week explaining why they chose specific images and text to influence the audience. I am sure that if you ask them they will be only too happy to share some of their learning with you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Upcoming events\/notices:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>14 Jun &#8211; Music\/Band Concert whole school 05:00 &#8211; 06:30 PM<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>14 Jun &#8211; Last round of ASA<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>20 Jun &#8211; Reports issued electronically<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>22 Jun &#8211; Last working day of the year<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Maths: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week students completed work on calculating the perimeter and area of regular and irregular shapes using standard measures. They also completed a \u2018scavenger hunt\u2019 challenge where they had to find items that were either a certain length or weight or height using a conversion formula from a standard measurement unit. Students seemed to enjoy this problem solving challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How you can help at home: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Please talk about measurement with your children at home. This includes, filling up the car, baking, how hot it is outside, travel times, weights and distances and so on. This adds authentic context and a reason for learning about measurement. Please also help your children use their\u00a0 Nessy, RAZ kids, Epic and Prodigy accounts for numeracy and literacy practice as part of their homework.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Please have a look at your child\u2019s google drive on their ipad for digital copies of this week\u2019s learning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidsa-z.com\/main\/Login\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Raz Kids for Reading<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teacher\u2019s name: ABIS6SG<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Remember your own password icons<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sso.prodigygame.com\/game\/login?rid=d8edde05-24bc-4581-ab1a-eefab813eea9\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prodigy for maths &amp; English<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ms Sri\u2019s class code &#8211; 555CE48<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mr Nicholson\u2019s class code &#8211; F72F169<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.nessy.com\/account\/login#\/accountLog\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nessy: <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Secret word &#8211; CANDYSNACK (remember your login details)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Homework<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> : <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week for homework, students have continued their daily reading, Math basic facts practice, Nessy\/ RAZ\/ Epic as well as revision for their exams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As always, spending time with your children at home reading, writing and playing maths games is a very valuable shared learning time.
