The main difference that you need to know is that there will no longer be an email sent to you by Grade 5 teachers on Sunday morning.

They then had to think independently about the things that they value in their lives and how important these things are to them. Please ask them about these and see which things they value the most.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/09\/IMG_0951-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-309280 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/09\/IMG_0951-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/09\/IMG_0951-scaled.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/09\/IMG_0951-980x735.jpg 980w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/09\/IMG_0951-480x360.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/768;\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/09\/IMG_0968-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-309281 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/09\/IMG_0968-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/09\/IMG_0968-scaled.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/09\/IMG_0968-980x735.jpg 980w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/09\/IMG_0968-480x360.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/768;\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-309284 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/09\/IMG_1036-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/09\/IMG_1036-scaled.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/09\/IMG_1036-980x735.jpg 980w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/09\/IMG_1036-480x360.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/768;\" \/>In literacy students explored who they are as writers. They identified which things they like to write about, and how they viewed themselves as a writer, both before and after a writing assessment. It was interesting to see that everyone is different, and has different likes and dislikes. Things some people find easy, others find difficult, just like real life!<\/p>\n<p>In mathematics we had a lot of \u2018show what you know\u2019 type activities, including a number knowledge assessment, some problem solving about a poor ant who got stuck in a well, then a fun frog jumping puzzle game, which involved some trial and error, as well as recording to work out the correct algorithm.
