This week this has \u2018levelled up\u2019 with students learning how to translate from fractions to decimals and to order these on a number line. Students have also learnt about value scales, the term equidistant and what it means as well as that the opposite of a number is through zero.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For home learning, on google classroom students have been asked to complete problem sets and as always it is important that students maintain and revise their basic facts for instant, accurate recall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For integrated language and UOI, students continue inquiring into the central idea: \u2018Flight inspires scientific innovation.\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students continue to develop their reading and writing through working on tasks set in Google Classroom in relation to a scientific report they are working on compiling. This week students received the blank scientific report template through google classroom and have begun to fill this out as they complete the individual parts. This is Due on the 7th of April. Next week, once the research phase of the report has been completed,\u00a0 students will begin working on designing, making and testing different designs of paper aeroplanes using the scientific method. We look forward to this fun part of our current unit. Students also continue to work on how to include direct quotes in their writing as well as how to paraphrase and accurately cite their research using the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/owl.purdue.edu\/owl\/research_and_citation\/mla_style\/mla_formatting_and_style_guide\/mla_formatting_and_style_guide.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">MLA format<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> which is what students will use from grade 7 on. Please do talk with your children about this as a point for conversation and to gain insight into what they are learning about in class.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>School Events &#8211; Important Dates<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Barcelo Resort: G6 overnight trip to Al Musannah<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> = Please watch this space for updates.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Student-Led Conferences<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> = Monday &amp; Tuesday, April 22 &#8211; 23, 2024<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Progress reports<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> = 11th of April To Be Confirmed (TBC) This to coincide with the first date of Eid Al Fitr<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Please take some time to check out <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1mBOSLFrmFOv0zfxu504lzQtiutGd9Inp?usp=sharing\">Week 27 photos<\/a><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> by adding, downloading, or just browsing through all of the sights and sounds throughout the week.
