Please do talk with your children about how their first term results compare to their latest Semester 2 results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In <\/span><b>literacy (reading, writing, listening and speaking)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, students have continued working on their graphic novels and have explored how themes can change the emotion or mood of characters in a story.\u00a0 During <\/span><b>Unit of Inquiry<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, students have worked to deepen their inquiry into migration and climate change by connecting the two through research and as the theme or problem that needs a resolution in their next graphic novel. They have also continued to work on developing their slide presentation to show what they know about the concepts of migration and climate change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>HOME LEARNING<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The maintenance of home learning reading\/ writing and mathematics is important in consolidating fundamental skills. Please continue with this as a routine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Please<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> do have a <\/span><b>look at your child\u2019s Google Classroom<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> because this is where the bulk of their <\/span><b>evidence for learning<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is posted. This is a great conversation starter and gives a great window into how they are doing as responsible, independent agentive learners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At this time of year and as we draw nearer to important year end assessments it is especially important to remain up to date with materials, assignments, and assessments posted onto Google Classroom. This week students were asked to complete the following for home learning:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Math:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Sprints, Problem Sets, and Exit Tickets with daily suggestions (assigned through Google Classroom)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Reading:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Written responses to reading (hard copies) with daily suggestions (assigned through Google Classroom)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>School Events &#8211; Important Dates<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Over the next three weeks, students will participate in end of year assessments in Spelling, Reading, Writing, Math and of course UOI. Teachers will work with students to outline the schedule for these assessments so to organise time and to manage schedules in light of this.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Excursion: Flight Academy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> = Monday, May 20, 2024<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Bridging day<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (where G6 gets to experience first hand what it it like to be in G7) &#8211; Monday June 3<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>End of year MOE Exams<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> = OSS &#8211; May 26, Arabic &#8211; May 28, Islamic studies &#8211; May 30<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>G6 Comic Con <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">= Tuesday \u2013 Thursday, June 4 \u2013 6, 2024 [NOTE: Parents are invited to join us from 8:30 &#8211; 10:00 Thursday, June 6, 2024.
