A very engaging and focused week in Grade 6 as we really spend time focusing on our stand a lone literacy and mathematics work. Even though it has been shorter weeks during Ramadan, the actually class time that I have had with the students has been almost the same, so we have been able to make very good progress.<\/p>\n

In Literacy we have been studying different explanation texts, recognising the features, formulating keys and then starting to draft our own explanation texts to inform about ‘How Energy is Transferred on a Roller Coaster’. We have also been looking at how we can use AI as a revising buddy to check features, tense and different writing elements in our explanation texts. AI is going to become an increasingly big element of our lives, so I believe that it is vital that students are given opportunities to interact with it responsibly,<\/p>\n

In Mathematics we have been creating clear definitions for perimeter and area of compound shapes. We have been learning rules, calculating missing lengths, finding perimeters of irregular shapes and then using rules to calculate the area of tricky compound shapes (such as below).<\/p>\n

This Week’s highlight, though, was getting involved with World Mathematics Day, visiting the Mazoon and playing, learning and developing lots of new mathematical skills.<\/p>\n
