Hi everyone,

Maths

• 24-Hour Time: I introduced the concept of 24-hour time and taught students how to convert between 12-hour and 24-hour formats.
• Perfect Day Activity: Students created their ideal day using 24-hour time.
• Review: We revisited key topics such as operations, factors, and fractions.
• Been focusing on 3D shapes where students have received nets and are required to construct the 3D shapes to develop a city.
• 

Science

• Adaptations: Our focus has been on the structural and functional adaptations of animals.
• Assessment: Students completed a questionnaire to evaluate their understanding of the topic.
• Interactive Learning: They then created their own questionnaires on adaptations and quizzed their classmates.

Health

• Family Influences: We explored how family influences affect our decisions and daily lives.
• Scenarios and Reflections: Students read through various scenarios and wrote reflections on how family impacts their choices.

Writers Workshop

• Creative Writing: Students used their writer’s notebooks to brainstorm and develop narrative stories.
• Book Making: They turned their stories into books, engaging in a process we call “book making.”

Religion

Caritas Romita: We studied a woman from Caritas Romita. Students researched her life, then filmed a 2-minute video in the green screen room, comparing their lives with hers.

Technologies / Art

• Spring Fair: We’re preparing for the Spring Fair! Students are competing to design the best banner for the event.
• Banner Design: Using iPads, they created banner templates, working independently or in groups to showcase their designs for the fair.

Hope you all had a great week!
