    A Peek At What We Have Been Learning

    Last week we started tuning in to our new Unit of Inquiry, ‘Buildings and Structures’.
    We pulled apart the central idea, “The design of buildings and structures is
    dependent upon environmental factors, human ingenuity and available
    materials,” to develop a deeper understanding of our unit and vocabulary. We also
    reflected upon our previous unit to come up with ideas for our assembly, which the
    children are excited to present this Wednesday.

    In Maths, we continued to work on developing our knowledge and skills of


    multiplication. We also integrated our unit of inquiry by exploring 2D and 3D shapes;
    naming them and describing their attributes.

    In English, many children put the final touches to their Role Model reports and
    produced their unit reflections. As a class we also worked on improving our reading
    stamina, which is a child's ability to focus and read independently for long-ish
    periods of time without being distracted or without distracting others. Last week, we
    increased our reading stamina by 4 minutes.

    A friendly reminder about uniforms: It is wonderful to see that most students are
    wearing the correct uniforms and bringing their P.E. kits on P.E. days. However,
    inappropriate footwear in still occurring. School shoes must be a neutral colour
    being black, brown or navy blue only. Other colours and boots are not approved
    uniform. Thank you for your support.
    Home Learning
    Change to homework: Weekly homework will be given to students on
    Mondays. Written tasks in homework folders must be completed by and
    handed in for marking on Fridays.

    Students can still access Raz Readers, Spelling City and StudyLadder on
    weekends. However, apart from reading for enjoyment, I highly encourage
    families to focus on school work during the week and to use weekends to
    enjoy extra-curricular activities with friends and/or family.
