Learning and Teaching
 

READING: Students have been completing independent activities for their novels. They have been developing higher order thinking questions for their texts.

WRITING: This week, the students have been reflecting on their learning for this semester. They have looked at English, Mathematics and Personal achievements and goals. They have published these ready to share with their parents.

MATHS: Our focus has been on revising multiplication and using mental and written strategies for problem solving. 

INQUIRY: We have continued to work on our 'Precious Planet' unit of work. The students chose their own big question to investigate. They also chose their groups to work in. This has been an informative and exciting unit of work for the students with many choosing to do extra work at home. Well done.

56 L: Alex - for designing a worded problem involving a range of operations
